We prove here that their result can be strengthened: Every knot in the 3-sphere is invertibly concordant to a prime knot. A consequence is that every double concordance class contains a prime knot.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-03-05T21:43:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25" ], "keywords": [ "prime knot", "invertible knot concordances", "double concordance class contains", "invertibly concordant", "consequence" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math......3034K" } } }
