New Heegaard Floer slice genus and clasp number bounds

  1. 1University of Oxford, UK
  2. 2University of Oregon, Eugene, USA

Abstract

We define several concordance invariants using knot Floer homology, which give improvements over known slice genus and clasp number bounds from Heegaard Floer homology. We also prove that the involutive correction terms of Hendricks and Manolescu give both a slice genus and a clasp number bound.
