Source abstract

A knot is said to be slice if it bounds a smooth properly embedded disk in B4B^4. We demonstrate that the Conway knot is not slice. This completes the classification of slice knots under 1313 crossings and gives the first example of a non-slice knot which is both topologically slice and a positive mutant of a slice knot.
