Non-Left-Orderable Surgeries on Twisted Torus Knots

From the creator

From the Columbia Mathematics Summer 2014 Undergraduate Research Project. Boyer, Gordon, and Watson have conjectured an equivalence between L-spaces and spaces with non-left-orderable fundamental group. The goal of our research has been to verify this conjecture for surgery on twisted torus knots. In our presentation, we will introduce the concepts of left-orderability, L-spaces, and knot surgery, and then we will briefly describe our methodology and results. Katherine Christianson, Justin Goluboff, Linus Hamann, and Srikar Varadaraj (advised by Jennifer Hom and Mike Wong)
