Remarks on SU(2)-simple knots and SU(2)-cyclic 3-manifolds
arXiv:1902.06560
Abstract
We give some remarks on two closely related issues as stated in the title. In particular we show that a Montesinos knot is SU(2)-simple if and only if it is a 2-bridge knot, extending a result of Zentner for 3-tangle summand pretzel knots. We conjecture with some evidence that an SU(2)-cyclic rational homology 3-sphere is an L-space.
