In this paper we present several counterexamples to Rasmussen's conjecture that the concordance invariant coming from Khovanov homology is equal to twice the invariant coming from Ozsv{á}th-Szab{ó} Floer homology. The counterexamples are twisted Whitehead doubles of the (2,2n+1) torus knots.

In this paper we study the knot Floer homology invariants of the twisted and untwisted Whitehead doubles of an arbitrary knot K. We present a formula for the filtered chain homotopy type of HFK(D(+,K,t)) in terms of the invariants for K, where D(+,K,t) denotes the t-twisted positive-clasped Whitehead double of K. In pa…
We study contact structures compatible with genus one open book decompositions with one boundary component. Any monodromy for such an open book can be written as a product of Dehn twists around dual non-separating curves in the once-punctured torus. Given such a product, we supply an algorithm to determine whether the …
New deformations of lattice cohomology help calculate knot invariants.
New knot concordance invariants derived from regions in the plane.
We derive a closed formula for the Heegaard Floer correction terms of lens spaces in terms of the classical Dedekind sum and its generalization, the Dedekind-Rademacher sum. Our proof relies on a reciprocity formula for the correction terms established by Ozsvath and Szabo. A consequence of our result is that the Casso…

Lattices embeddability determined by correction terms.
We use Heegaard Floer homology with twisted coefficients to define numerical invariants for arbitrary closed 3-manifolds equipped torsion spin structures, generalising the correction terms (or --invariants) defined by Ozsváth and Szabó for integer homology 3-spheres and, more generally, for 3-manifolds with stan…
Design experiments to correct misspecified dynamical models efficiently.
A new correction term improves sample efficiency in deep reinforcement learning.
In this small note we use results derived in Berestycki et al. to correct the celebrated formulae of Hagan et al. We derive explicitly the correct zero order term in the expansion of the implied volatility in time to maturity. The new term is consistent as . Furthermore, numerical simulations show that it reduc…
We make use of the action of in Heegaard Floer homology to generalize the Ozsváth-Szabó correction terms for -manifolds with standard . We establish the basic properties of these invariants: conjugation invariance, behavior under orientation reversal, additivity, and spin ratio…
Manolescu correction terms are numerical invariants of homology three-spheres arising from -equivariant Seiberg-Witten theory that contain information about homology cobordism. We discuss several constraints on these invariants for homology spheres obtained by Dehn surgery on a knot in the three-sphere…
The Heegaard Floer correction term (-invariant) is an invariant of rational homology 3-spheres equipped with a Spin structure. In particular, the correction term of 1-surgeries along knots in is a (-valued) knot concordance invariant . In this paper, we estimate for the -cabl…

Corrects earlier work on surface orbifold pure braid groups.
Study analyzes cointegration in US, Canadian, and Mexican bond markets.
We study the behavior of the signature of colored links [Flo05, CF08] under the splice operation. We extend the construction to colored links in integral homology spheres and show that the signature is almost additive, with a correction term independent of the links. We interpret this correction term as the signature o…
New method for estimating treatment effects without complex propensity models.
We propose and analyze an alternate approach to off-policy multi-step temporal difference learning, in which off-policy returns are corrected with the current Q-function in terms of rewards, rather than with the target policy in terms of transition probabilities. We prove that such approximate corrections are sufficien…
In this paper the relation between the choice of a differential structure and a smooth connection in the tangential bundle is discussed. For the case of an exotic one obtains corrections to the curvature after the change of the differential structure, which can not be neglected by a gauge transformation. In the m…
According to a formula by Gordon and Litherland, the signature of a knot K can be computed as the signature of a Goeritz matrix of K minus a suitable correction term, read off from the diagram of K. In this article, we consider the family of two bridge knots K(p/q) and compute the signature of their Goeritz matrices in…
We show that the four derivative terms in the effective action of three-dimensional N=8 Yang-Mills theory are determined by supersymmetry. These terms receive both perturbative and non-perturbative corrections. Using our technique for constraining the effective action, we are able to determine the exact form of the eig…
In this remark, we show how the monopole Frøyshov invariant, as well as the analogues of the Involutive Heegaard Floer correction terms , are related to the -equivariant Floer homology . We show that the only interesting correction terms of a $\mathrm{Pin}…
The Gauss self-linking integral of an unframed knot is not a knot invariant, but it can be turned into an invariant by adding a correction term which requires adding extra structure to the knot. We collect the different definitions/theorems/proofs concerning this correction term, most of which are well-known (at least …
New invariants improve Heegaard Floer slice genus and clasp number bounds.
Turaev showed that there is a well-defined map assigning to an oriented link L in the three-sphere a Spin structure t_0 on Sigma(L), the 2-fold cover of S^3 branched along L. We prove, generalizing results of Manolescu-Owens and Donald-Owens, that for an oriented quasi-alternating link L the signature of L equals minus…

We show that the correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology give a lower bound to the the genus of one-sided Heegaard splittings and the --Thurston norm. Using a result of Jaco--Rubinstein--Tillmann, this gives a lower bound to the complexity of certain closed --manifolds. As an application, we compute…

Given an element in the first homology of a rational homology 3-sphere , one can consider the minimal rational genus of all knots in this homology class. This defines a function on , which was introduced by Turaev as an analogue of Thurston norm. We will give a lower bound for this function usi…
