We use bordered Floer theory to study properties of twisted Mazur pattern satellite knots Qn(K). We prove that Qn(K) is not Floer homologically thin, with two exceptions. We calculate the 3-genus of Qn(K) in terms of the twisting parameter n and the 3-genu ...

In [D. Auckly, H. J. Kim, P. Melvin and D. Ruberman, Equivariant corks, Algebr. Geom. Topol. 17(3) (2017) 1771-1783], Auckly-Kim-Melvin-Ruberman showed that for any finite subgroup G of SO(4) there exists a contractible smooth 4-manifold with an effective ...

We construct a combinatorial invariant of 3-orbifolds with singular set a link that generalizes the Turaev torsion invariant of 3-manifolds. We give several gluing formulas from which we derive two consequences. The first is an understanding of how the com ...
