-cobordisms, infinite cyclic covers, and real Seiberg--Witten theory

Sungkyung Kang, JungHwan Park, Masaki Taniguchi

We study -cobordisms of distinguished homology handles, introduced by Kawauchi in 1976 using infinite cyclic covers. Despite the extensive development of gauge-theor…

Real Floer Homotopy Types and -Invariants

Yoshihiro Fukumoto, Masaki Taniguchi

We express the local-equivalence classes of real Seiberg--Witten Floer homotopy types for spin Seifert -manifolds with certain odd involutions in terms of the Fukumoto-Furuta $w…

Non-kinetic homotopy coherent actions on four-manifolds

Sungkyung Kang, JungHwan Park, Masaki Taniguchi

We give the first example of a non-kinetic smooth homotopy coherent action of order two on a closed simply connected smooth four-manifold. This action is obtained by restricting a…

Equivariant lattice homology for Seifert homology 3-spheres

Sungkyung Kang, JungHwan Park, Masaki Taniguchi

We develop an -equivariant refinement of the lattice homotopy type for Seifert homology 3-spheres equipped with the Seifert -action. We const…

Smooth concordance of cables of the figure-eight knot

Sungkyung Kang, JungHwan Park, Masaki Taniguchi

We prove that every nontrivial cable of the figure-eight knot has infinite order in the smooth knot concordance group. Our main contribution is a uniform proof that applies to all…

A satellite formula for real Seiberg-Witten Floer homotopy types

Jin Miyazawa, JungHwan Park, Masaki Taniguchi

We establish a satellite formula for the real Seiberg-Witten Floer homotopy types of knots with odd patterns. Using this, we derive several applications to knot concordance theory.…

On the connected sums of the -cable of the figure eight knot

Yoshihiro Fukumoto, Masaki Taniguchi

We show that the 3-fold (resp. 6-fold) connected sum of the -cable of the figure-eight knot cannot bound a smooth null-homologous disk in a punctured (resp.…

Exotic Dehn twists and homotopy coherent group actions

Sungkyung Kang, JungHwan Park, Masaki Taniguchi

We consider the question of extending a smooth homotopy coherent finite cyclic group action on the boundary of a smooth 4-manifold to its interior. As a result, we prove that Dehn…

Cables of the figure-eight knot via real Frøyshov invariants

Sungkyung Kang, JungHwan Park, Masaki Taniguchi

We prove that the -cable of the figure-eight knot is not smoothly slice when is odd, by using the real Seiberg-Witten Frøyshov invariant of Konno-Miyazawa-Taniguchi. Fo…
