Asymmetric L–space knots

Kenneth L Baker and John Luecke

Geometry & Topology 24 (2020) 2287–2359
Abstract

We construct the first examples of asymmetric L–space knots in S3. More specifically, we exhibit a construction of hyperbolic knots in S3 with both (i) a surgery that may be realized as a surgery on a strongly invertible link such that the result of the surgery is the double branched cover of an alternating link and (ii) trivial isometry group. In particular, this produces L–space knots in S3 which are not strongly invertible. The construction also immediately extends to produce asymmetric L–space knots in any lens space, including S1 × S2.
