Links all of whose cyclic branched covers are L-spaces
Published 13 Aug 2020 in math.GT | (2008.06127v1)
Abstract: We show that for the pretzel knots $K_k=P(3,-3,-2k-1)$, the $n$-fold cyclic branched covers are L-spaces for all $n\geq 1$. In addition, we show that the knots $K_k$ with $k\geq 1$ are quasipositive and slice, answering a question of Boileau-Boyer-Gordon. We also extend results of Teragaito giving examples of two-bridge knots with all L-space cyclic branched covers to a family of two-bridge links.
