The strong invertibility conjecture for L-space knots
The strong invertibility conjecture for L-space knots
Let be an L-space knot in , meaning that admits a non-trivial Dehn surgery to a 3-manifold satisfying
Strong invertibility conjecture. Every L-space knot in is strongly invertible: there is an orientation-preserving involution of whose fixed-point set is a circle intersecting in two points and which takes to itself.
The conjecture arose from the observation that many L-space knots are strongly invertible. It is refuted by the construction in this paper of asymmetric L-space knots in , namely L-space knots that are not strongly invertible.
