Non-orientable genus of a knot in punctured \(\mathbb C\mathbb P^2\) (Q267460)

This paper shows that for any positive integer \(n\) there is no upper bound for the smallest first Betti number of a non-orientable and null-homologous embedded surface cobounding a knot in the boundary of punctured \({n\mathbb C\mathbb P^2}\), extending the result for \(S^4\) in [\textit{J. Batson}, Math. Res. Lett. 21, No. 3, 423--436 (2014; Zbl 1308.57004)].
