Finiteness conjecture for dihedral knot surgeries
Finiteness conjecture for dihedral knot surgeries
Let and be positive integers, and consider the Seifert-fibered dihedral manifolds
A knot surgery is a Dehn surgery on a knot in the -sphere, and the family is considered with fixed finite first homology order . Finiteness conjecture for dihedral knot surgeries. Each family of dihedral manifolds with a fixed includes finitely many knot surgeries. In particular, if , then
is never a knot surgery. The conjecture is motivated by the observation that all known examples of these manifolds that are knot surgeries satisfy , with the cases realized by torus knots. Its general status is not resolved in the supplied text.
