On the link Floer homology of $L$-space links

Abstract

We will prove that, for a $2$ or $3$ component $L$-space link, $HFL^-$ is completely determined by the multi-variable Alexander polynomial of all the sub-links of $L$, as well as the pairwise linking numbers of all the components of $L$. We will also give some restrictions on the multi-variable Alexander polynomial of an $L$-space link. Finally, we use the methods in this paper to prove a conjecture by Yajing Liu classifying all $2$-bridge $L$-space links.
