Two knots are said to be concordant if they jointly form the boundary of a cylinder in four-dimensional Euclidean space. In the symplectic setting, we say they are Lagrangian concordant if the knots are Legendrian and the cylinder is Lagrangian. We can ask: what Legendrian knots can be both concordant to and from the unstabilized Legendrian unknot? In this talk I'll explain a strategy that can be used to obstruct many knots from this double concordance.
