Non-orientable 4-genus of torus knots (2405.04737v2)

Abstract: The non-orientable 4-genus of a knot $K$ in $S^{3}$, denoted $\gamma_4(K)$, measures the minimum genus of a non-orientable surface in $B^{4}$ bounded by $K$. We compute bounds for the non-orientable 4-genus of knots $T_{5, q}$ and $T_{6, q}$, extending previous research. Additionally, we provide a generalized, non-recursive formula for $d(S^{3}{-1}(T{p,q}))$, the $d$-invariant of -1-surgery on torus knots.
