Abstract
Under the relation of -concordance, the set of knotted 2-spheres in forms a commutative monoid with the operation of connected sum. Sunukjian has recently shown that contains a submonoid isomorphic to . In this note, we show that contains a submonoid isomorphic to . Our argument relates the -concordance monoid to linear independence of certain Seifert solids in the (spin) rational homology cobordism group.
