Abstract
We describe a condition involving noncommutative Alexander modules which ensures that a knot with Alexander module is topologically doubly slice. As an application, we show that a satellite knot is doubly slice if the pattern has Alexander module and satisfies this condition, and if the infection curve lies in the second derived subgroup
