Abstract
We study the behavior of under the cabling operation, where is the knot concordance invariant defined by Ozsváth, Stipsicz, and Szabó, associated to a knot . The main result is an inequality relating and , where denotes the –cable of . This result generalizes the inequalities of Hedden and Van Cott on the Ozsváth–Szabó –invariant. As applications, we give a computation of for , and we show that the set of iterated –cables of for any span an infinite-rank summand of topologically slice knots.
