Structure in the classical knot concordance group

Abstract

We provide new information about the structure of the abelian group of topological concordance classes of knots in S3. One consequence is that there is a subgroup of infinite rank consisting entirely of knots with vanishing Casson-Gordon invariants but whose non-triviality is detected by L(2) signatures.
