On concordances in 3-manifolds

Abstract: We describe an action of the concordance group of knots in S3 on concordances of knots in arbitrary 3‐manifolds. As an application we define the notion of almost‐concordance between knots. After some basic results, we prove the existence of non‐trivial almost‐concordance classes in all non‐abelian 3‐manifolds. Afterwards, we focus the attention on the case of lens spaces, and use a modified version of the Ozsváth–Szabó–Rasmussen's τ‐invariant to obstruct almost‐concordances and prove that each L(p,1) admits in… Show more

“…We observe that almost-concordant knots lift to links for which the respective sets of pairwise linking numbers coincide, and the result follows. We remark that the examples exhibited by Celoria [Cel16] also lift to links in S 3 with different pairwise linking numbers. So in particular these examples are distinct in topological almost-concordance, a fact which cannot be detected by the τ invariant.…”

“…Celoria [Cel16], who coined the term 'almost-concordance', recently studied the case of the null-homotopic class in lens spaces L(n, 1) with n ≥ 3. Using a generalisation of the τ invariant from knot Floer homology, he showed the existence of an infinite family of knots, mutually distinct in smooth almost-concordance.…”

“…Finally, it is clear that there is a 0-surgery on an l-component sublink of L i gives the sum K#K ⊂ # S 2 × S 1 and thus applying Theorem 4.7 again we have D(K) = D(K#K ) when K is a local knot. Therefore Theorem 4.8 also gives us a knot in # i S 2 × S 1 for each i which not almost-concordant in # i S 2 × S 1 to the unknot in the sense of [Cel18].…”

“…Given K ⊂ S 2 × S 1 , the connected sum with a local knot K ′ ⊂ S 3 does not alter the geometric winding number. Hence any concordance bound obtained on ⋔(K) is in fact an almostconcordance bound, using the terminology of [5].…”
