A note on smoothly slice links in
Marco Marengon, Clayton McDonald
We give an alternative proof of a result of Miyazaki and Yasuhara that there exists links that are not smoothly slice in . We discuss potential applications to the…
Splitting links by integer homology spheres
Marco Golla, Marco Marengon
For every , we construct 2-component links in that are a split by an integer homology -sphere, but not by . In the special case , i.e. that of 2-lin…
Smoothly slice links in
Marco Marengon, Clayton McDonald
We show that there exists a link with 2 components which is not smoothly slice in . By contrast, it is well-known that every knot (i.e.,…
Correction terms of double branched covers and symmetries of immersed curves
Jonathan Hanselman, Marco Marengon, Biji Wong
We use the immersed curves description of bordered Floer homology to study -invariants of double branched covers of arborescent links . We define a new…
Unknotting number 21 knots are slice in K3
Marco Marengon, Stefan MihajloviÄ
We prove that all knots with unknotting number at most 21 are smoothly slice in the K3 surface. We also prove a more general statement for 4-manifolds that contain a plumbing tree…
