Finiteness conjecture for L-space knots of bounded genus
Finiteness conjecture for L-space knots of bounded genus
Let be an integer, and let denote the genus of a knot . Finiteness conjecture for bounded genus. There are only finitely many L-space knots with . This is a reformulation of the Hedden–Watson conjecture because the genus of an L-space knot is determined by the degree of its Alexander polynomial. The claim is open; for genus two, the source notes that it is expected that the only examples are and its mirror.
