Cobordism and concordance in PL-topology (57Q60) Homology theories in knot theory (Khovanov, Heegaard-Floer, etc.) (57K18)

Abstract: For a connected cobordism S between two knots K1,K2 in S3, we establish an inequality involving the number of local maxima, the genus of S, and the torsion orders of Kht(K1),Kht(K2), where Kht denotes Lee's perturbation of Khovanov homology. This shows that the torsion order gives a lower bound for the band-unlinking number.
