Fibered and strongly quasi-positive \(L\)-space links (Q6100642)

Any \(L\)-space knot is fibered and strongly quasi-positive, but this does not hold for \(L\)-space links. In this paper, a special \(L\)-space link is introduced by using the \(H\)-function. The \(H\)-function is a function defined on the affine lattice associated to an oriented link by using the generalized Heegaard Floer complex. For example, all \(L\)-space knots and algebraic links are special \(L\)-space links. The main result claims that any special \(L\)-space link is fibered and strongly quasi-positive. If the number of components is two, then the converse also holds. In the last part of the paper, the \(2\)-bridge link \(S(4k^2+4k,-2k-1)\) with \(k\ge 1\) is shown to be an \(L\)-space link which is not quasi-positive. The argument heavily uses link Floer homology, in particular, the \(\tau\) invariant.
