Doubly slice odd pretzel knots

Geometric Topology 2019-06-10 v2

Abstract

We prove that an odd pretzel knot is doubly slice if it has 2n+12n+1 twist parameters consisting of n+1n+1 copies of aa and nn copies of a-a for some odd integer aa. Combined with the work of Issa and McCoy, it follows that these are the only doubly slice odd pretzel knots.
