Genus One Cobordisms Between Torus Knots

Genus One Cobordisms Between Torus Knots

We determine the pairs of torus knots that have a genus one cobordism between them, with one notable exception. This is done by combining obstructions using $\nu^+$ from the Heegaard Floer knot complex and explicit constructions of cobordisms. As an application, we determine the pairs of torus knots related by …
