A Surgical Perspective on Quasi-alternating Links
We show that quasi-alternating links arise naturally when considering surgery on a strongly invertible L-space knot (that is, a knot that yields an L-space for some Dehn surgery). In particular, we show that for many known classes of L-space knots, every sufficiently large surgery may be realized as the two-fold branched cover of a quasi-alternating link. Consequently, there is considerable ove...
متن کاملHomologically Thin, Non-quasi-alternating Links
We exhibit the first examples of links which are homologically thin but not quasi-alternating. To show that they are not quasi-alternating, we argue that none of their branched double-covers bounds a negative definite 4-manifold with non-torsion H1. Using this method, we also complete the determination of the quasi-alternating pretzel links.
متن کاملA New Proof That Alternating Links Are Non-trivial
We use a simple geometric argument and small cancellation properties of link groups to prove that alternating links are non-trivial. This proof uses only classic results in topology and combinatorial group theory. 1. Statement of Results There are several approaches in the literature for showing that alternating links are non-trivial. Most of these approaches rely upon the use of a powerful kno...
متن کاملQuasi-alternating Links and Odd Homology: Computations and Conjectures
We present computational results about quasi-alternating knots and links and odd homology obtained by looking at link families in the Conway notation. More precisely, we list quasi-alternating links up to 12 crossings and the first examples of quasi-alternating knots and links with at least two different minimal diagrams, where one is quasi-alternating and the other is not. We provide examples ...
متن کاملAlmost Alternating Sums
as N → ∞ is not transparent. The random walk ∑Nn=1 wn, where the wn are independent random variables taking the values ±1 with equal probability, is known [22] to typically have absolute value around c √ N , for an appropriate constant c and large N . Knowing this, and knowing that for irrational α the sequence ⌊nα⌋ is “random-ish” modulo 2, a natural guess is that |SN (α)| is also around √ N ....
