We construct the first examples of asymmetric L-space knots in S3S^3.

In Dunfield's catalog of the hyperbolic manifolds in the SnapPy census which are complements of L-space knots in S3S^3, we determine that 2222 have tunnel number 22 while the remaining all have tunnel number 11. Notably, these 2222 manifolds contain 99 asymmetric L-space knot complements. Furthermore, using SnapPy a…

We study random knotting by considering knot and link diagrams as decorated, (rooted) topological maps on spheres and pulling them uniformly from among sets of a given number of vertices nn, as first established in recent work with Cantarella and Mastin. The knot diagram model is an exciting new model which captures b…
