A full-twist inequality for the ^+-invariant

Abstract: Hom and Wu introduced a knot concordance invariant called

u^{+}

, which dominates many concordance invariants derived from Heegaard Floer homology. In this paper, we give a full-twist inequality for

u^{+}

. By using the inequality, we extend Wu's cabling formula for

u^{+}

(which is proved only for particular positive cables) to all cables in the form of an inequality. In addition, we also discuss

u^{+}

-equivalence, which is an equivalence relation on the knot concordance group. We introduce a partial order on

u^{+}

-equivalence classes, and study its relationship to full-twists.
