• #### (1,1) L-space knots ﻿

(COMPOSITIO MATHEMATICA, 2018-05-01)
We characterize the (1, 1) knots in the three-sphere and lens spaces that admit non-trivial L-space surgeries. As a corollary, 1-bridge braids in these manifolds admit non- trivial L-space surgeries. We also recover ...
• #### A slicing obstruction from the $\frac {10}{8}$ theorem ﻿

(Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2016-08-29)
© 2016 American Mathematical Society. From Furuta’s 10/8 theorem, we derive a smooth slicing obstruction for knots in S3 using a spin 4-manifold whose boundary is 0-surgery on a knot. We show that this obstruction is able ...
• #### Berge–Gabai knots and L–space satellite operations ﻿

(Algebraic & Geometric Topology, 2015-01-15)
© 2014 Mathematical Sciences Publishers. All rights reserved. Let P(K) be a satellite knot where the pattern P is a Berge–Gabai knot (ie a knot in the solid torus with a nontrivial solid torus Dehn surgery) and the companion ...
• #### Null surgery on knots in L-spaces ﻿

Let $K$ be a knot in an L-space $Y$ with a Dehn surgery to a surface bundle over $S^1$. We prove that $K$ is rationally fibered, that is, the knot complement admits a fibration over $S^1$. As part of the proof, we show that ...
• #### On L-space knots obtained from unknotting arcs in alternating diagrams ﻿

Let $D$ be a diagram of an alternating knot with unknotting number one. The branched double cover of $S^3$ branched over $D$ is an L-space obtained by half integral surgery on a knot $K_D$. We denote the set of all such ...
• #### On the Knot Floer Homology of Twisted Torus Knots ﻿

(International Mathematics Research Notices, 2015)
• #### On the Stein framing number of a knot ﻿

For an integer $n$, write $X_n(K)$ for the 4-manifold obtained by attaching a 2-handle to the 4-ball along the knot $K\subset S^3$ with framing $n$. It is known that if $n< \overline{\text{tb}}(K)$, then $X_n(K)$ admits ...
• #### Seifert surfaces distinguished by sutured Floer homology but not its Euler characteristic ﻿

(Topology and its Applications, 2015-04)
© 2015 Elsevier B.V. In this paper we find a family of knots with trivial Alexander polynomial, and construct two non-isotopic Seifert surfaces for each member in our family. In order to distinguish the surfaces we study ...
• #### The prism manifold realization problem ﻿

The spherical manifold realization problem asks which spherical three-manifolds arise from surgeries on knots in $S^3$. In recent years, the realization problem for C, T, O, and I-type spherical manifolds has been solved, ...
• #### The prism manifold realization problem II ﻿

We continue our study of the realization problem for prism manifolds. Every prism manifold can be parametrized by a pair of relatively prime integers $p>1$ and $q$. We determine a complete list of prism manifolds $P(p, q)$ ...
• #### The prism manifold realization problem III ﻿

Every prism manifold can be parametrized by a pair of relatively prime integers $p>1$ and $q$. In our earlier papers, we determined a complete list of prism manifolds $P(p, q)$ that can be realized by positive integral ...
