In this note, we complete the classification of quasi-alternating Montesinos links. We show that the quasi-alternating Montesinos links are precisely those identified independently by Qazaqzeh-Chbili-Qublan and Champanerkar-Ording. A…
We construct an infinite family of quasi-alternating links from a given quasi-alternating link by replacing a crossing by a product of rational tangles each of which extends that crossing. Consequently, we determine an infinite family of…
The aim of this article is to detect new classes of quasi-alternating links. Quasi-alternating links are a natural generalization of alternating links. Their knot Floer and Khovanov homology are particularly easy to compute. Since knot…
Quasi-alternating links are a generalization of alternating links. They are homologically thin for both Khovanov homology and knot Floer homology. Recent work of Greene and joint work of the first author with Kofman resulted in the…
In this paper, we show that a link which has a positive and almost alternating diagram is alternating, besides that a positive and non-alternating Montesinos link has an almost positive-alternating diagram.
We prove that if a quasipositive link can be represented by an alternating diagram satisfying the condition that no pair of Seifert circles is connected by a single crossing, then the diagram is positive and the link is strongly…
We prove that the degree of the Brandt-Lickorish-Millet polynomial of any quasi-alternating link is less than its determinant. Therefore, we obtain a new and a simple obstruction criterion for quasi-alternateness. As an application, we…
We show that the crossing number of any link that is known to be quasi-alternating is less than or equal to its determinant. Based on this, we conjecture that the crossing number of any quasi-alternating link is less than or equal to its…
We prove that twisting any quasi-alternating link $L$ with no gaps in its Jones polynomial $V_L(t)$ at the crossing where it is quasi-alternating produces a link $L^{*}$ with no gaps in its Jones polynomial $V_{L^*}(t)$. This leads us to…
We prove that an $n$-component fibered link $L$ in $S^3$ is strongly quasi-positive if and only if $\tau(L)=g_3(L)+n-1$, where $g_3(L)$ denotes the Seifert genus and $\tau$ is the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o concordance invariant. We also provide a…
Quasi-alternating links of determinant 1, 2, 3, and 5 were previously classified by Greene and Teragaito, who showed that the only such links are two-bridge. In this paper, we extend this result by showing that all quasi-alternating links…
We prove that any link admitting a diagram with a single negative crossing is strongly quasipositive. This answers a question of Stoimenow's in the (strong) positive. As a second main result, we give simple and complete characterizations of…
Let S(D) be the surface produced by applying Seifert's algorithm to the oriented link diagram D. I prove that if D has no negative crossings then S(D) is a quasipositive Seifert surface, that is, S(D) embeds incompressibly on a fiber…
Champanerkar and Kofman introduced an interesting way to construct new examples of quasi-alternating links from existing ones. Actually, they proved that replacing a quasi-alternating crossing c in a quasi-alternating link by a rational…
We construct an infinite family of links which are both almost alternating and quasi-alternating from a given either almost alternating diagram representing a quasi-alternating link, or connected and reduced alternating tangle diagram. To…
We exhibit the first examples of links which are homologically thin but not quasi-alternating. To show that they are not quasi-alternating, we argue that none of their branched double-covers bounds a negative definite 4-manifold with…
Let $L$ be a oriented link such that $\Sigma_n(L)$, the $n$-fold cyclic cover of $S^3$ branched over $L$, is an L-space for some $n \geq 2$. We show that if either $L$ is a strongly quasipositive link other than one with Alexander…
Quasi-alternating links are a natural generalization of alternating links. In this paper, we show that quasi-alternating links are "homologically thin" for both Khovanov homology and knot Floer homology. In particular, their bigraded…
Every $L$-space knot is fibered and strongly quasi-positive, but this does not hold for $L$-space links. In this paper, we use the so called H-function, which is a concordance link invariant, to introduce a subfamily of fibered strongly…
Champanerkar and Kofman [1] introduced an innovative method for constructing quasi-alternating links by substituting a quasi-alternating crossing c in a quasi-alternating link with a rational tangle of the same type. This construction was…
