Nontrivial Steenrod squares on prime, hyperbolic and satellite knots

Holt Bodish

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 22 (2022) 1273–1285

DOI: 10.2140/agt.2022.22.1273

Abstract

We use work of Lawson, Lipshitz and Sarkar as well as Wilson, Levine and Zemke to prove that there are prime knots — in fact, hyperbolic and prime satellite knots — with arbitrarily high Steenrod squares on their (reduced and unreduced) Khovanov homology.

Keywords

knot theory, Khovanov homology, Steenrod operations, homotopy type, ribbon concordance
