We show that the homology cobordism group of integer homology three-spheres contains an infinite rank summand. The proof uses an algebraic modification of the involutive Heegaard Floer package of Hendricks-Manolescu and Hendricks-Manolescu-Zemke. This is inspired by Hom's techniques in the setting of knot concordance. This is joint work with Dai, Hom and Stoffregen.
