Twist families of L-space knots, their genera, and Seifert surgeries (Q2328021): Difference between revisions

It was conjectured in [\textit{M. Hedden} and \textit{L. Watson}, Selecta Math. 24, No. 2, 997--1037 (2018; Zbl 1432.57027)] that there are only finitely many L-space knots of a given knot Floer homology. The authors introduce an equivalent conjecture stating that there are only finitely many L-space knots of a given genus. They establish this conjecture for families of L-space knots that are obtained by twisting a knot in \(S^{3}\) along an unknot that does not bound a disk nor is a meridian of the given knot. An additional hypothesis is required in one of the cases to establish this conjecture. Finally, they pose some questions about the nature of these knots, their expression as closures of positive or negative braids, and their wrapping about the twisting circle.
