A Concordance Invariant For Knots from CFK∞
Abstract
We construct a multi-filtered smooth knot concordance invariant, β(t1, a, t2), derived from the knot Floer complex CFK∞. β is a three-variable piecewise linear function defined on (0,2) × ℝ × (0,2). We demonstrate that β satisfies a subadditivity relation. We apply β to prove concordance results for a certain family of L-space knots. We show that the positive cones spanned by Teragaito's knots K1,n and K2,n are disjoint in the smooth concordance group 𝒞. For positive L-space knots, we show β completely determines the Alexander polynomial and distinguishes knots with identical Υ invariants.
