Algebraic links in lens spaces

Geometric Topology 2020-12-15 v2 Complex Variables

Abstract

The lens space Lp,qL_{p,q} is the orbit space of a Zp\mathbb{Z}_{p}-action on the three sphere. We investigate polynomials of two complex variables that are invariant under this action, and thus define links in Lp,qL_{p,q}. We study properties of these links, and their relationship with the classical algebraic links. We prove that all algebraic links in lens spaces are fibered, and obtain results about their Seifert genus. We find some examples of algebraic knots in lens spaces, whose lift in the 33-sphere is a torus link.
