Fibered knots with the same 0-surgery and the slice-ribbon conjecture

Abstract

Akbulut and Kirby conjectured that two knots with the same 0-surgery are concordant. In this paper, we prove that if the slice-ribbon conjecture is true, then the modified Akbulut-Kirby's conjecture is false. We also give a fibered potential counterexample to the slice-ribbon conjecture.
