Non-simple genus minimizers in lens spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a one-dimensional homology class in a lens space, a question related to the Berge conjecture on lens space surgeries is to determine all knots realizing the minimal rational genus of all knots in this homology class. It is known that simple knots are rational genus minimizers. In this paper, we construct many non-simple genus minimizers. This negatively answers a question of Rasmussen.

Heegaard Floer correction terms and rational genus bounds
Given an element in the first homology of a rational homology 3– sphere Y , one can consider the minimal rational genus of all knots in this homology class. This defines a function Θ on H1(Y ;Z), which was introduced by Turaev as an analogue of Thurston norm. We will give a lower bound for this function using the correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology. As a corollary, we show that Floer si...
متن کاملCounting Genus One Fibered Knots in Lens Spaces
The braid axis of a closed 3–braid lifts to a genus one fibered knot in the double cover of S branched over the closed braid. Every (null homologous) genus one fibered knot in a 3–manifold may be obtained in this way. Using this perspective we answer a question of Morimoto about the number of genus one fibered knots in lens spaces. We determine the number of genus one fibered knots up to homeom...
متن کاملLens Spaces Given from L-Space Homology 3-Spheres
We consider the problem when lens spaces are given from homology spheres, and demonstrate that many lens spaces are obtained from L-space homology sphere which the correction term d(Y ) is equal to 2. We show an inequality of slope and genus when Y is L-space and Yp(K) is lens space. 1 2
متن کاملLens Spaces and Handlebodies in 3D Quantum Gravity
We calculate partition functions for lens spaces Lp,q up to p = 8 and for genus 1 and 2 handlebodies H1, H2 in the Turaev-Viro framework. These can be interpreted as transition amplitudes in 3D quantum gravity. In the case of lens spaces Lp,q these are vacuum-to-vacuum amplitudes Ø → Ø, whereas for the 1and 2-handlebodies H1, H2 they represent genuinely topological transition amplitudes Ø → T 2...
متن کاملLayered - Triangulations of 3 – Manifolds
A family of one-vertex triangulations of the genus-g-handlebody, called layered-triangulations, is defined. These triangulations induce a one-vertex triangulation on the boundary of the handlebody, a genus g surface. Conversely, any one-vertex triangulation of a genus g surface can be placed on the boundary of the genus-g-handlebody in infinitely many distinct ways; it is shown that any of thes...
