چکیده
Exceptional Dehn surgeries have been classified for 2-bridge knots and Montesinos knots of length at least 4. In this paper we classify all toroidal Dehn surgeries on Montesinos knots of length 3.

Seifert fibered surgery on Montesinos knots
Exceptional Dehn surgeries on arborescent knots have been classified except for Seifert fibered surgeries on Montesinos knots of length 3. There are infinitely many of them as it is known that 4n + 6 and 4n + 7 surgeries on a (−2, 3, 2n + 1) pretzel knot are Seifert fibered. It will be shown that there are only finitely many others. A list of 20 surgeries will be given and proved to be Seifert ...
متن کاملNon-integral Toroidal Dehn Surgeries
If we perform a non-trivial Dehn surgery on a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere, the result is usually a hyperbolic 3-manifold. However, there are exceptions: there are hyperbolic knots with surgeries that give lens spaces [1], small Seifert fiber spaces [2], [5], [7], [20], and toroidal manifolds, that is, manifolds containing (embedded) incompressible tori [6], [7]. In particular, Eudave-Muñoz ...
متن کاملSmall Seifert fibered surgery on hyperbolic pretzel knots
The study of exceptional surgery on hyperbolic knots has been well developed over the last quarter century. One particularly well studied problem is that of exceptional surgery on arborescent knots, which include Montesinos knots and pretzel knots. Thanks to the positive solution to the Geometrization conjecture [Per03a, Per03b, Per03c], any exceptional surgery is either reducible, toroidal, or...
متن کاملDehn surgery on knots of wrapping number 2
Suppose K is a hyperbolic knot in a solid torus V intersecting a meridian disk D twice. We will show that if K is not the Whitehead knot and the frontier of a regular neighborhood of K ∪ D is incompressible in the knot exterior, then K admits at most one exceptional surgery, which must be toroidal. Embedding V in S gives infinitely many knots Kn with a slope rn corresponding to a slope r of K i...
متن کاملThe Classification of Exceptional Dehn Surgeries on 2-bridge Knots
A nontrivial Dehn surgery on a hyperbolic knot K in S is exceptional if the resulting manifold is either reducible, or toroidal, or a Seifert fibered manifold whose orbifold is a sphere with at most three exceptional fibers, called a small Seifert fibered space. Thus an exceptional Dehn surgery is non-hyperbolic, and using a version of Thurston’s orbifold theorem proved by Boileau and Porti [BP...
