  1. Abstract We consider manifold-knot pairs$$(Y,K)$$, whereYis a homology 3-sphere that bounds a homology 4-ball. We show that the minimum genus of a PL surface$$\Sigma $$in a homology ballX, such that$$\partial (X, \Sigma ) = (Y, K)$$can be arbitrarily large. Equivalently, the minimum genus of a surface cobordism in a homology cobordism from$$(Y, K)$$to any knot in$$S^3$$can be arbitrarily large. The proof relies on Heegaard Floer homology.
