Positive braid closures and taut foliations
Abstract
We study taut foliations on the complements of non-split positive braid closures in $S^3$. If $L$ is such a link with components $L_1,\ldots,L_n$ and at least one component is not the unknot, then the Dehn surgery along a multislope $(s_1,\ldots,s_n)\in\mathbb{Q}^n$ satisfying $s_i
