Bennequin–Plamenevskaya–Shumakovitch-type inequalities for Kronheimer–Mrowka’s concordance invariant
Nobuo IidaIn this paper, we give Bennequin–Plamenevskaya–Shumakovitch-type lower bounds for the concordance invariant [Formula: see text] introduced by Kronheimer and Mrowka. The proof is a consequence of computations for torus knots and the cobordism inequality of [Formula: see text] due to Gong, combined with well-known arguments used for slice-torus invariants.
