A satellite formula for real Seiberg-Witten Floer homotopy types

Abstract

We establish a satellite formula for the real Seiberg-Witten Floer homotopy types of knots with odd patterns. Using this, we derive several applications to knot concordance theory. The satellite formula follows from a version of the excision theorem for real Floer homotopy types. Additionally, we show that the concordance invariants arising from real Seiberg-Witten theory depend only on the knot's zero-framed surgery.
