Abstract

AbstractWe use twisted Alexander polynomials to show that certain algebraically slice 2-bridge knots are not topologically slice, even though all prime power Casson–Gordon signatures vanish. We also provide some computations indicating the efficacy of Casson–Gordon signatures in obstructing the smooth sliceness of 2-bridge knots.
