| Popis: | In this article we show that all cyclic branched covers of a Seifert link have left-orderable fundamental groups, and therefore admit co-oriented taut foliations and are not $L$-spaces, if and only if it is not an $ADE$ link up to orientation. This leads to a proof of the $ADE$ link conjecture for Seifert links. When $L$ is an $ADE$ link up to orientation, we determine which of its canonical $n$-fold cyclic branched covers $\Sigma_n(L)$ have non-left-orderable fundamental groups. In addition, we give a topological proof of Ishikawa's classification of strongly quasipositive Seifert links and we determine the Seifert links that are definite, resp. have genus zero, resp. have genus equal to its smooth $4$-ball genus, among others. In the last section, we provide a comprehensive survey of the current knowledge and results concerning the $ADE$ link conjecture. Comment: v1: 54 pages, 17 figures |
