A slice genus lower bound from sl(n) Khovanov-Rozansky homology
arXiv:math/0702393 · doi:10.1016/j.aim.2009.06.001
Abstract
We show that perturbing the definition of sl(n) Khovanov-Rozansky link homology gives a lower bound on the slice genus of a knot. As a corollary this yields another proof of Milnor's conjecture on the slice genus of torus knots.
