Abstract

We construct smooth concordance invariants of knots K which take the form of piecewise linear maps n ( K ) : [ 0 , 1 ] for n 2 . These invariants arise from s l n knot cohomology. We verify some properties which are analogous to those of the invariant ϒ (which arises from knot Floer homology), and some which differ. We make some explicit computations and give some topological applications.

Further to this, we define a concordance invariant from equivariant s l n knot cohomology which subsumes many known concordance invariants arising from quantum knot cohomologies.
