(1,1) L-space knots
Abstract
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
characterization of the Berge manifold amongst 1-bridge braid exteriors.

My main research interests lie in low dimensional topology and geometry. Among others,
these interests include Heegaard Floer homology and its applications, Khovanov homology,
contact and symplectic geometry, and handlebody theory. A central goal of low dimensional
topology is to understand three and four–dimensional spaces. Achieving this
understanding is often aided through the study of knots and surfaces embedded therein,
and the theory of knotted curves and surfaces have
