The Thurston polytope for four-stranded pretzel links
Licata, Joan E.
Original · EN
In this paper we use Heegaard Floer link homology to determine the dual Thurston polytope for pretzel links of the form P(-2r₁-1, 2q₁, -2q₂, 2r₂+1) where rᵢ and qᵢ are positive integers. We apply this result to determine the Thurston norms of spanning surfaces for the individual link components, and we explicitly construct norm-realizing examples of such surfaces.
