Realizing concordant polynomials with prime knots

Steven Albert Bleiler

Vol. 100 (1982), No. 2, 249–257
Abstract

This paper employs the theory of tangles to show that every knot in the 3-sphere is concordant to a prime knot with the same Alexander polynomial. From this it is shown that all algebraic concordances at the polynomial level are realized by geometric concordances between prime knots.
