Cyclic branched covers of alternating knots and $L$-spaces

Geometric Topology 2014-04-29 v1

Abstract

For any alternating knot, it is known that the double branched cover of the 33-sphere branched over the knot is an LL-space. We show that the three-fold cyclic branched cover is also an LL-space for any genus one alternating knot.
