Abstract
We prove a recent conjecture of Manolescu-Willis which states that the -invariant of a knot in (as defined by them) gives a lower bound on its null-homologous slice genus in the unit disk bundle of . We also conjecture a lower bound in the more general case where the slice surface is not necessarily null-homologous, and give its proof in some special cases.
