Abstract

We show that the local equivalence class of the collapsed link Floer complex cCFL(L)cCFL^\infty(L), together with many Υ\Upsilon-type invariants extracted from this group, is a concordance invariant of links. In particular, we define a version of the invariants ΥL(t)\Upsilon_L(t) and ν+(L)\nu^+(L) when LL is a link and we prove that they give a lower bound for the slice genus g4(L)g_4(L). Furthermore, in the last section of the paper we study the homology group HFL(L)HFL'(L) and its behaviour under unoriented cobordisms. We obtain that a normalized version of the υ\upsilon-set, introduced by Ozsv\'ath, Stipsicz and Szab\'o, produces a lower bound for the 4-dimensional smooth crosscap number γ4(L)\gamma_4(L).
