Generalized Mazur Patterns and Immersed Heegaard Floer Homology
Generalizing prior work of Levine, we give infinitely many examples of pattern knots P such that P(K) is not slice in any rational homology 4-ball, for any companion knot K. To show this, we establish a closed formula for the concordance invariants τ and ε of a family of satellite knots obtained from generalized Mazur patterns. Our main computational tool is the immersed curve technique from bordered Heegaard Floer homology arising from the work of Chen-Hanselman.
