Homologically 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 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 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 کاملOn the Khovanov and Knot Floer Homologies of Quasi-alternating Links
Quasi-alternating links are a natural generalization of alternating links. In this paper, we show that quasi-alternating links are “homologically thin” for both Khovanov homology and knot Floer homology. In particular, their bigraded homology groups are determined by the signature of the link, together with the Euler characteristic of the respective homology (i.e. the Jones or the Alexander pol...
متن کاملA Criterion for Almost Alternating Links to Be Non-splittable
The notion of almost alternating links was introduced by C. Adams et al ([1]). Here we give a sufficient condition for an almost alternating link diagram to represent a non-splittable link. This solves a question asked in [1]. A partial solution for special almost alternating links has been obtained by M. Hirasawa ([4]). As its applications, Theorem 2.3 gives us a way to see if a given almost a...
