Abstract

Let $C_{TS}$ be the subgroup of the smooth knot concordance group generated by topologically slice knots. Endo showed that $C_{TS}$ contains an infinite-rank subgroup, and Livingston and Manolescu-Owens showed that $C_{TS}$ contains a $ℤ^{3}$ summand. We show that in fact $C_{TS}$ contains a $ℤ^{\infty}$ summand. The proof relies on the knot Floer homology package of Ozsváth–Szabó and the concordance invariant $ε$ .
