On asymmetric hyperbolic L-space knots of braid index four

Abstract

A knot is called an L-space knot if it admits a positive Dehn surgery yielding an L-space. In the SnapPy census, there are exactly 9 asymmetric L-space knots. Among them, the knot t12533 is the only known example of braid index 4. We generalize this knot, and give the first infinite family of asymmetric hyperbolic L-space knots of braid index 4.
