$\tau$–invariants for knots in rational homology spheres

Abstract

Ozsváth and Szabó used the knot filtration on $\hat{CF} (S^{3})$ to define the $τ$ –invariant for knots in the $3$ –sphere. We generalize their construction and define a collection of $τ$ –invariants associated to a knot $K$ in a rational homology sphere $Y$ . We then show that some of these invariants provide lower bounds for the genus of a surface with boundary $K$ properly embedded in a negative-definite $4$ –manifold with boundary $Y$ .
