Links all of whose cyclic branched covers are L-spaces
Abstract
We show that for the pretzel knots Kk=P(3,-3,-2k-1), the n-fold cyclic branched covers are L-spaces for all n≥ 1. In addition, we show that the knots Kk with k≥ 1 are quasipositive and slice, answering a question of Boileau-Boyer-Gordon. We also extend results of Teragaito giving examples of two-bridge knots with all L-space cyclic branched covers to a family of two-bridge links.
