A construction of slice knots via annulus twists

Abstract

We give a new construction of slice knots via annulus twists. The simplest slice knots obtained by our method are those constructed by Omae. In this paper, we introduce a sufficient condition for given slice knots to be ribbon, and prove that all Omae's knots are ribbon.
