New Heegaard Floer slice genus and clasp number bounds

Geometric Topology 2020-10-06 v2

Abstract

We define several concordance invariants using knot Floer homology which give improvements over known slice genus and clasp number bounds from Heegaard Floer homology. We also prove that the involutive correction terms of Hendricks and Manolescu give both a slice genus and a clasp number bound.

28 pages. Version 2 has new genus bounds, as well as a new invariant from the UV=0 version of knot Floer homology. The paper is reorganized to reflect new material, and has a new title. Many references added
