Abstract
Let P(K) be a satellite knot where the pattern P is a Berge–Gabai knot (ie a knot in the solid torus with a nontrivial solid torus Dehn surgery) and the companion K is a nontrivial knot in S^3. We prove that P(K) is an L–space knot if and only if K is an L–space knot and P is sufficiently positively twisted relative to the genus of K. This generalizes the result for cables due to Hedden [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2009 (2009) 2248–2274] and Hom [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 11 (2011) 219–223].
