Abstract

For any knot KK which bounds non-orientable and null-homologous surfaces FF in punctured nCP2n\mathbb{C}P^2, we construct a lower bound of the first Betti number of FF which consists of the signature of KK and the Heegaard Floer dd-invariant of the integer homology sphere obtained by 11-surgery along KK. By using this lower bound, we prove that for any integer kk, a certain knot cannot bound any surface which satisfies the above conditions and whose first Betti number is less than kk.
