Filtered Instantons and the Concordance of Satellites

Geometric Topology 2025-10-30 v3

Abstract

In \cite{NST23}, Nozaki-Sato-Taniguchi defined a family of invariants rs r_s for integer homology spheres with filtered instanton homology \cite{FS92}. Coupling these with techniques in classical knot theory, we produce some results in the knot concordance group, including criteria for a family of satellite knots to be linearly independent and the independence of what we call the Whitehead n n -ble Pn P_n .
