摘要
We exhibit braid positive presentations for all L-space knots in the SnapPy census except one, which is not braid positive. The normalized HOMFLY polynomial of o9_30634, when suitably normalized, is not positive, failing a condition of Ito for braid positive knots. We generalize this knot to a 1-parameter family of hyperbolic L-space knots that may not be braid positive. Nevertheless, as pointed out by Teragaito, this family yields the first examples of hyperbolic L-space knots whose formal semigroups are actual semigroups, answering a question of Wang. Further, the roots of the Alexander polynomials of these knots are all roots of unity, disproving a conjecture of Li and Ni.
