Equivariant knots via knot Floer homology
Abstract:
We discuss how knot Floer homology can be used to study equivariant knots. We introduce some large-surgery correction terms that obstruct equivariant sliceness (and more generally, bound equivariant genus, following work of Juhasz and Zemke). We describe some crossing-change inequalities for these invariants. We also describe an amusing application to distinguishing (up to isotopy rel boundary) pairs of slice disks related by symmetries of a knot. \\ \\ This is work in progress with Abhishek Mallick and Matthew Stoffregen.
