A note on cabling and $L$–space surgeries

Abstract

We prove that the $(p, q)$ –cable of a knot $K \subset S^{3}$ admits a positive $L$ –space surgery if and only if $K$ admits a positive $L$ –space surgery and $q ∕ p \geq 2 g (K) - 1$ , where $g (K)$ is the Seifert genus of $K$ . The “if” direction is due to Hedden [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2009 (2009) 2248–2274].
