Knot Complement Problem for L-space $\mathbb{Z} HS^3$

Abstract

In this paper we look at the knot complement problem for L-space $\mathbb{Z}$-homology spheres. We show that an L-space $\mathbb{Z}$-homology sphere $Y$ cannot be obtained as a non-trivial surgery along a knot $K\subset Y$. As a consequence, we prove that knots in an L-space $\mathbb{Z}$-homology sphere are determined by their complements.
