Annular Rasmussen invariants: properties and 3-braid classification

Abstract: We prove that for a fixed braid index there are only finitely many possible shapes of the annular Rasmussen

d_{t}

invariant of braid closures. Applying the same perspective to the knot Floer invariant

U p s i l o n_{K} (t)

, we show that for a fixed concordance genus of

K

there are only finitely many possibilities for

U p s i l o n_{K} (t)

. Focusing on the case of 3-braids, we compute the Rasmussen

s

invariant and the annular Rasmussen

d_{t}

invariant of all 3-braid closures. As a corollary, we show that the vanishing/non-vanishing of the

p s i

invariant is entirely determined by the

s

invariant and the self-linking number.
