Exceptional Dehn surgery on large arborescent knots
نویسنده
چکیده
A Dehn surgery on a knot K in S is exceptional if it produces a reducible, toroidal or Seifert fibred manifold. It is known that a large arborescent knot admits no such surgery unless it is a type II arborescent knot. The main theorem of this paper shows that up to isotopy there are exactly three large arborescent knots admitting exceptional surgery, each of which admits exactly one exceptional surgery, producing a toroidal manifold.

Dehn Surgery on Arborescent Links 3
This paper studies Dehn surgery on a large class of links, called arborescent links. It will be shown that if an arborescent link L is suuciently complicated, in the sense that it is composed of at least 4 rational tangles T (p i =q i) with all q i > 2, and none of its length 2 tangles are of the form T (1=2q 1 ; 1=2q 2), then all complete surgeries on L produce Haken manifolds. The proof needs...
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 کاملSeifert 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 ...
