Combinatorial cusp count and clover invariants
Abstract
We construct efficient topological cobordisms between torus links and large connected sums of trefoil knots. As an application, we show that the signature invariant σω at ω=ζ6 takes essentially minimal values on torus links among all concordance homomorphisms with the same normalisation on the trefoil knot.
