%0 Journal Article %T Notes on the knot concordance invariant Upsilon %A Charles Livingston %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X The knot concordance invariant Upsilon, recently defined by Ozsvath, Stipsicz, and Szabo, takes values in the group of piecewise linear functions on the closed interval [0,2]. This paper presents a description of one approach to defining Upsilon and of proving its basic properties related to the knot 3-genus, 4-genus, and concordance genus. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.0254v2
