Let ν be any integer-valued additive knot invariant that bounds the smooth 4–genus of a knot K, |ν(K)|≤ g4(K), and determines the 4–ball genus of positive torus knots, ν(Tp,q) = (p − 1)(q − 1)∕2. Either of the knot concordance invariants of Ozsváth-Szabó or Rasmussen, suitably normalized, have these properties. Let D±(K,t) denote the positive or negative t–twisted double of K. We prove that if ν(D+(K,t)) = ±1, then ν(D−(K,t)) = 0. It is also shown that ν(D+(K,t)) = 1 for all t ≤ TB(K) and ν(D+(K,t)) = 0 for all t ≥− TB(−K), where TB(K) denotes the Thurston-Bennequin number.
A realization result is also presented: for any 2g × 2g Seifert matrix A and integer a, |a|≤ g, there is a knot with Seifert form A and ν(K) = a.
