Goodman surgery and projectively Anosov flows [PDF]
We introduce a generalization of Goodman surgery to the category of projectively Anosov flows. This construction is performed along a knot that is simultaneously Legendrian and transverse for a supporting bi-contact structure. If the flow is Anosov there is a particular class of supporting bi-contact structures that induce Lorentzian metrics satisfying

Links of plane curve singularities are L-space links [PDF]
We prove that a sufficiently large surgery on any algebraic link is an L-space. For torus links we give a complete classification of integer surgery coefficients providing L-spaces.
