The branched-cover L-space conjecture for strongly quasipositive links
The branched-cover L-space conjecture for strongly quasipositive links
Let be a prime, fibred, strongly quasipositive link. For an integer , let denote the -fold branched cover of branched along , and call simply laced arborescent if it is the boundary of a surface obtained by plumbing positive Hopf bands according to a simply laced Dynkin tree , , , , or . An L-space is a rational homology -sphere whose Heegaard Floer homology has minimal possible rank.
The branched-cover L-space conjecture. If some is an L-space, then is simply laced arborescent. If is a knot, then is a , , or torus knot.
The conjecture generalizes the preceding classification for positive braid, divide, and certain fibred strongly quasipositive knots. Its general case is presented as open in the source.
