A surgical perspective on quasi-alternating links
Liam Watson
We show that quasi-alternating links arise naturally when considering surgery on a strongly invertible L-space knot (that is, a knot that yields an L-space for some Dehn surgery).…

A remark on Khovanov homology and two-fold branched covers
Liam Watson
Examples of knots and links distinguished by the total rank of their Khovanov homology but sharing the same two-fold branched cover are given. As a result, Khovanov homology does n…

Does Khovanov homology detect the unknot?
Matthew Hedden, Liam Watson
We determine a wide class of knots, which includes unknotting number one knots, within which Khovanov homology detects the unknot. A corollary is that the Khovanov homology of many…
