Gauge theory and Rasmussen's invariant

Using a version of instanton homology, an integer invariant s[superscript ♯](K) is defined for knots K in S[superscript 3]. This invariant is shown to be equal to Rasmussen's s-invariant. While Rasmussen's invariant provides a lower bound for 2 g(Σ) for any surface Σ in B[superscript 4] wi...
