Knot reversal acts non-trivially on the concordance group of topologically slice knots
Selecta Mathematica(2022)
Abstract
We construct an infinite family of topologically slice knots that are not smoothly concordant to their reverses. More precisely, if 𝒯 denotes the concordance group of topologically slice knots and ρ is the involution of 𝒯 induced by string reversal, then 𝒯/ Fix(ρ ) contains an infinitely generated free subgroup. The result remains true modulo the subgroup of 𝒯 generated by knots with trivial Alexander polynomial.
