Watson's diagonal grading characterization of strongly invertible L-space knots
Watson's diagonal grading characterization of strongly invertible L-space knots
Let be a non-trivial knot in admitting a strong inversion, an orientation-preserving involution of that reverses the orientation of , and let be its Watson invariant, a finite-dimensional vector space with absolute homological grading and relative quantum grading .
Watson's conjecture. is an L-space knot if and only if is supported in a single diagonal grading
Here an L-space knot is a knot admitting a surgery to a Heegaard Floer L-space. The conjecture proposes a Khovanov-homological characterization of strongly invertible L-space knots; the converse direction is stated in the paper to remain open.
