Abstract
We show that if K is any knot whose Ozsváth-Szabó concordance invariant T (K) is positive, the all-positive Whitehead double of any iterated Bing double of K is topologically but not smoothly slice. We also show that the all-positive Whitehead double of any iterated Bing double of the Hopf link (for example, the all-positive Whitehead double of the Borromean rings) is not smoothly slice; it is not known whether these links are topologically slice.
