Two friends with different sliceness status would provide a counterexample to the 4-dimensional smooth Poincar\\'e conjecture. Here we create a census of all friends with small crossing numbers c and tetrahedral complexities t, and compute their smooth 4-genera. In particular, we compute the minimum of c(K)+c(K') and of t(K)+t(K') among all friends K and K'. Along the way, we classify all 0-surgeries of knots of at most 15 crossings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-11T16:25:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K10", "57R65", "57R58", "57K14", "57K32" ], "keywords": [ "complexity", "smooth poincare conjecture", "tetrahedral complexities", "sliceness status", "small crossing numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
