A formula for correction terms of Brieskorn spheres

Let p>1p>1 be an odd integer, let kk be an integer satisfying gcd(k,2p)=1\gcd(k,2p)=1 and k≢±1(mod2p)k\not\equiv\pm1\pmod{2p}, and let nn be an integer. For a rational homology sphere YY, write d(Y)d(Y) for its Heegaard Floer correction term, and let Σ(a,b,c)\Sigma(a,b,c) denote the Brieskorn sphere with parameters a,b,ca,b,c. Correction-term formula.

d(Σ(2,p,2pnk))={0,p1(mod4),2,p3(mod4),d\left(-\Sigma\left(2,p,2pn-k\right)\right)= \begin{cases} 0,&p\equiv1\pmod4,\\ -2,&p\equiv3\pmod4, \end{cases}

and

d(Σ(2,p,2pn+k))={0,p3(mod4),2,p1(mod4).d\left(-\Sigma\left(2,p,2pn+k\right)\right)= \begin{cases} 0,&p\equiv3\pmod4,\\ -2,&p\equiv1\pmod4. \end{cases}

These formulas give correction terms for two infinite families of Brieskorn spheres and contribute to the study of Heegaard Floer invariants of non-alternating knots. The supplied source does not indicate whether this statement is conjectural or resolved.
