Abstract
The Casson-Gordon invariants of knots in all dimensions are interpreted in terms of surgery theory. Applications are given to finding non-doubly slice knots, and doubly slice knots which are not the double of a disk knot. In even dimensions, the property of being doubly slice is shown to be largely homotopy theoretic, while in odd dimensions the surgery-theoretic method shows such properties to depend on more than the homotopy type.
