We establish a number of results about smooth and topological concordance of knots in $S^1times S^2$. The winding number of a knot in $S^1times S^2$ is defined to be its class in $H_1(S^1times S^2;mathbb{Z})cong mathbb{Z}$. We show that there is a unique smooth concordance class of knots with winding number one. This improves the corresponding result of Friedl-Nagel-Orson-Powell in the topological category. We say a knot in $S^1times S^2$ is slice (resp. topologically slice) if it bounds a smooth (resp. locally flat) disk in $D^2times S^2$. We show that there are infinitely many topological concordance classes of non-slice knots, and moreover, for any winding number other than $pm 1$, there are infinitely many topological concordance classes even within the collection of slice knots. Additionally we demonstrate the distinction between the smooth and topological categories by constructing infinite families of slice knots that are topologically but not smoothly concordant, as well as non-slice knots that are topologically slice and topologically concordant, but not smoothly concordant.
We classify the Legendrian torus knots in S^1times S^2 with its standard tight contact structure up to Legendrian isotopy.
Given a 3-manifold $Y$ and a free homotopy class in $[S^1,Y]$, we investigate the set of topological concordance classes of knots in $Y times [0,1]$ representing the given homotopy class. The concordance group of knots in the 3-sphere acts on this se
We generalize Ngs two-variable algebraic/combinatorial $0$-th framed knot contact homology for framed oriented knots in $S^3$ to knots in $S^1 times S^2$, and prove that the resulting knot invariant is the same as the framed cord algebra of knots. Ac
Let $k$ be a subring of the field of rational functions in $x, v, s$ which contains $x^{pm 1}, v^{pm 1}, s^{pm 1}$. If $M$ is an oriented 3-manifold, let $S(M)$ denote the Homflypt skein module of $M$ over $k$. This is the free $k$-module generated b
Baker showed that 10 of the 12 classes of Berge knots are obtained by surgery on the minimally twisted 5-chain link. In this article we enumerate all hyperbolic knots in S^3 obtained by surgery on the minimally twisted 5 chain link that realize the m
