Twisted Mazur pattern satellite knots and bordered Floer theory

Geometric Topology 2021-03-23 v2

Abstract

We use bordered Floer theory to study properties of twisted Mazur pattern satellite knots Qn(K)Q_{n}(K). We prove that Qn(K)Q_n(K) is not Floer homologically thin, with two exceptions. We calculate the 3-genus of Qn(K)Q_{n}(K) in terms of the twisting parameter nn and the 3-genus of the companion KK, and we determine when Qn(K)Q_n(K) is fibered. As an application to our results on Floer thickness and 3-genus, we verify the Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture for many of these satellite knots.
