Let T be the group of smooth concordance classes of topologically slice knots and suppose
is the bipolar filtration of T. We show that T0∕T1 has infinite rank, even modulo Alexander polynomial one knots. Recall that knots in T0 (a topologically slice 0–bipolar knot) necessarily have zero τ–, s– and ϵ–invariants. Our invariants are detected using certain d–invariants associated to the 2–fold branched covers.
Keywords: knot, topologically slice, bipolar filtration
