Lidman–Vafaee satellite L-space knot necessity conjecture
Lidman–Vafaee satellite L-space knot necessity conjecture
Let be a pattern in the solid torus, let be a knot, let denote the unknot, and write and for the corresponding satellite knots. An L-space knot is a knot admitting a positive surgery yielding an L-space. Lidman–Vafaee's conjecture. If is an L-space knot, then both and are L-space knots. This gives a necessary condition for a satellite knot to be an L-space knot; the source presents it as a conjecture attributed to the author, Lidman, and Vafaee, and its status is not resolved here.
