Obstructing Reducible Surgeries: Slice Genus and Thickness Bounds
From MaRDI portal
Publication:6409707
Abstract: In this paper, we study reducible surgeries on knots in . We develop thickness bounds for L-space knots that admit reducible surgeries, and lower bounds on the slice genus for general knots that admit reducible surgeries. The L-space knot thickness bounds allow us to finish off the verification of the Cabling Conjecture for thin knots, which was mostly worked out in cite{DeY21b}. We also provide a new upper bound on reducing slopes for fibered, hyperbolic slice knots and on multiple reducing slopes for slice knots. Our techniques involve the -invariants and mapping cone formula from Heegaard Floer homology.
