Ozsváth-Szabó and Rasmussen invariants of cable knots
by
Cornelia Van Cott
Indiana University

We study the behavior of the Ozsváth-Szabó and Rasmussen concordance invariants on cable knots. In the case of the Ozsváth-Szabó invariant, we extend results of Hedden, finding bounds on the value of the invariant and computing the invariant explicitly for all cables of a particular class of knots.
