Cobordism and concordance in topological manifolds (57N70) Knot theory (57K10) General topology of 4-manifolds (57K40) Homology theories in knot theory (Khovanov, Heegaard-Floer, etc.) (57K18)

Abstract: We show that the difference between the topological 4-genus of a knot and the minimal genus of a surface bounded by that knot that can be decomposed into a smooth concordance followed by an algebraically simple locally flat surface can be arbitrarily large. This extends work of Hedden-Livingston-Ruberman showing that there are topologically slice knots which are not smoothly concordant to any knot with trivial Alexander polynomial.
