On the nonorientable four-ball genus of torus knots

Abstract: The nonorientable four-ball genus of a knot K in S 3 is the minimal first Betti number of nonorientable surfaces in B 4 bounded by K. By amalgamating ideas from involutive knot Floer homology and unoriented knot Floer homology, we give a new lower bound on the smooth nonorientable four-ball genus γ 4 of any knot. This bound is sharp for several families of torus knots, including T 4n,(2n±1) 2 for even n ≥ 2, a family Longo showed were counterexamples to Batson's conjecture. We also prove that, whenever p is an… Show more

“…Suppose that A(K) = 0. As observed in [BKST21], the involution ι K r on CF K U V (S 3 , K r ) = CF K U V (S 3 , K) is the homotopy inverse of ι K . By assumption, there exists an ι K -local map…”
