Abstract: We show that there exists a $mathbb{Z}^{i}nfty$-summand in the subgroup of the knot concordance group generated by knots with trivial Alexander polynomial. To this end we use the invariant Upsilon $Upsilon$ recently introduced by Ozsv'ath, Stipsicz and Szab'o using knot Floer homology. We partially compute $Upsilon$ of $(n,1)$-cable of the Whitehead double of the trefoil knot. For this computation of $Upsilon$, we determine a sufficient condition for two satellite knots to have identical $Upsilon$ for any pattern with nonzero winding number.
