Abstract

Let LHTLHT be a left handed trefoil knot and KK be any knot. We define Mn(K)M_n(K) to be the homology 33-sphere which is represented by a simple link of LHTLHT and LHTKLHT \sharp K with framings 00 and nn respectively. Starting with this link, we construct homotopy K3K3 and spin rational homology K3K3 surfaces containing Mn(K)M_n(K). Then we apply the adjunction inequality to show that if n>2gsn(K)2n>2g^n_s(K)-2, Mn(K)M_n(K) does not bound any smooth spin rational 44-ball, and that under the same assumption the negative nn-twisted Whitehead double of LHTKLHT \sharp K is not a slice knot, where gsn(K)g^n_s(K) is the nn-shake genus of KK.
