Conjecture on large four-genera of connected sums of non-torsion solvable knots
Conjecture on large four-genera of connected sums of non-torsion solvable knots
Let be an -solvable knot which is not torsion in the knot concordance group . For each positive integer , let denote the connected \sum of copies of .
Large four-genus conjecture. The collection consists of -solvable knots and contains knots with arbitrarily large smooth four-genera .
This conjecture strengthens the result established in the paper for , where 2-solvable knots with arbitrarily large four-genera are constructed. It predicts the same phenomenon for every -solvable knot that represents a non-torsion element of the knot concordance group.
