\(L\)-space surgeries on links (Q2406853)

An \(L\)-space is a rational homology \(3\)-sphere whose Heegaard Floer homology has rank equal to the order of its first homology group. A knot is called an \(L\)-space knot if there is a positive integer \(n\) such that \(n\)-surgery on it yields an \(L\)-space. Then it is known that all surgeries whose coefficients are bigger than \(n\) yield \(L\)-spaces. \textit{E. Gorsky} and \textit{A. Némethi} [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 16, No. 4, 1905--1912 (2016; Zbl 1364.14022)] introduced the notion of \(L\)-space link. An \(l\)-component link is called an \(L\)-space link if there exist integers \(p_1,\dots,p_l\) such that \((n_1,\dots,n_l)\)-surgery yields an \(L\)-space if each \(n_i>p_i\). All algebraic links are known to be \(L\)-space links. The present paper first gives many examples of \(L\)-space links, including certain classes of \(2\)-bridge links, Borromean rings, chain links. In particular, the author proposes a conjecture that the \(2\)-bridge links of type \((rq-1,-q)\) with \(r,q\) odd positive give all \(L\)-space \(2\)-bridge links. Also, the multi-variable Alexander polynomials of \(L\)-space links are studied, and \(L\)-space surgeries are classified for some cases.
