Knots Yielding Homeomorphic Lens Spaces by Dehn Surgery

چکیده

We show that there exist infinitely many pairs of distinct knots in the 3-sphere such that each pair can yield homeomorphic lens spaces by the same Dehn surgery. Moreover, each knot of the pair can be chosen to be a torus knot, a satellite knot or a hyperbolic knot, except that both cannot be satellite knots simultaneously. This exception is shown to be unavoidable by the classical theory of binary quadratic forms.

Lens spaces obtainable by surgery on doubly primitive knots

Given a knot K in a 3–manifold, the following operation is called Dehn surgery on K : Remove an open regular neighborhood of K , and glue a solid torus back. Dehn surgeries on the trivial knot in the 3–sphere S give the well-known class of 3– manifolds, the so-called lens spaces. On the other hand, it is known that only restricted Dehn surgeries on nontrivial knots yield lens spaces. Such a non...

Lens surgeries on A’Campo’s divide knots

It is proved that every knot in the major subfamilies of J. Berge’s lens surgery (i.e., knots yielding a lens space by Dehn surgery) is presented by an L-shaped (real) plane curve as a divide knot defined by N. A’Campo in the context of the singularity of the complex curves. The corresponding plane curves are constructed. Such presentations support us to study each knot of lens surgery itself, ...

A Note on Lens Space Surgeries: Orders of Fundamental Groups versus Seifert Genera

Let K be a non-trivial knot in the 3-sphere with a lens space surgery and L(p, q) a lens space obtained by a Dehn surgery on K. We study a relationship between the order |p| of the fundamental group of L(p, q) and the Seifert genus g of K. Considering certain infinite families of knots with lens space surgeries, the following estimation is suggested as a conjecture: 2g + 2 √ 40g + 1 5 + 3 5 ≤ |...

Non-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 ...
