A lower bound on the stable $4$–genus of knots

Damian Iltgen

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 22 (2022) 2239–2265
Abstract

We present a lower bound on the stable 4–genus of a knot based on Casson–Gordon τ–signatures. We compute the lower bound for an infinite family of knots, the twist knots, and show that a twist knot is torsion in the knot concordance group if and only if it has vanishing stable 4–genus.
