An infinite-rank summand of topologically slice knots

Jennifer Hom

Geometry & Topology 19 (2015) 1063–1110
Abstract

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