Strongly plus-amphicheiral knots are algebraically slice

Extract
A classical knot in S3 is said to be slice if it is the boundary of a smooth (or PL locally unknotted) disc in B4. The first obstructions to sliceness were introduced in [3] (the Alexander polynomial is of the form f(t). f(t−1)) and [7] (the signature is zero). Levine defined the notion of algebraically slice knot in [5]. This property implies the first two obstructions vanish.
