Upsilon-like concordance invariants from $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ knot cohomology

Lukas Lewark and Andrew Lobb

Geometry & Topology 23 (2019) 745–780
Abstract

We construct smooth concordance invariants of knots K which take the form of piecewise linear maps n(K): [0,1] for n 2. These invariants arise from sln knot cohomology. We verify some properties which are analogous to those of the invariant ϒ (which arises from knot Floer homology), and some which differ. We make some explicit computations and give some topological applications.

Further to this, we define a concordance invariant from equivariant sln knot cohomology which subsumes many known concordance invariants arising from quantum knot cohomologies.
