Abstract
We present a lower bound on the stable $4$-genus of a knot based on Casson-Gordon $\tau$-signatures. We compute the lower bound for an infinite family of knots, the twist knots, and show that a twist knot is torsion in the knot concordance group if and only if it has vanishing stable $4$-genus.
