The Conway knot has infinite order in smooth concordance

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We prove that the Conway knot has infinite order in the concordance group, and in particular that it is not slice. Ours is an alternative, independent proof with respect to those of Piccirillo and of Donatone, Kegel, Lewark, and Truöl.
