Chainmail links and L-spaces

Geometric Topology 2026-03-25 v1

Abstract

In this note we prove that alternating chainmail links are L-space links. The proof is inspired by corresponding proofs for double branched covers of alternating links. We also more generally show that flat augmented chainmail links are generalized L-space links. Some other properties of these links are also considered.
