The solid-torus realization conjecture for lens space surgeries
The solid-torus realization conjecture for lens space surgeries
Let be the solid torus and let be the product of the circle with the 2-sphere. An integer lens space surgery is integer surgery on a knot in producing a lens space; an integer surgery is integer surgery on a knot in the solid torus producing . The solid-torus realization conjecture. If a knot in admits an integer lens space surgery, then it arises from a knot in with an integer surgery. This is an analogue of the Berge conjecture motivated by the relation between lens spaces bounding rational balls and surgeries on knots in the solid torus; its general validity remains open.
