The Jones polynomial, 3-braids, and L-space knots.

Coauthors: Faramarz Vafaee

A knot K in S3 is an L-space knot if K or its mirror image admits a positive L-space surgery. We will discuss how the constraints on the Alexander polynomial of such knots can be used to classify L-space knots with 3-braid representation using the Jones polynomial.
