Hyperbolic L-space knots and their formal semigroups

Geometric Topology 2022-09-13 v2

Abstract

For an L-space knot, the formal semigroup is defined from its Alexander polynomial. It is not necessarily a semigroup. That is, it may not be closed under addition. There exists an infinite family of hyperbolic L-space knots whose formal semigroups are semigroups generated by three elements. In this paper, we give the first infinite family of hyperbolic L-space knots whose formal semigroups are semigroups generated by five elements.
