The Gonzales-Acuña–Short cabling conjecture for knots in the 3-sphere
Let be a knot in . A surgery on may produce a non-prime -manifold.
Gonzales-Acuña–Short's cabling conjecture. If a knot in admits a surgery to a non-prime -manifold, then the knot is either a torus knot or a cabled knot.
Greene proved this in the special case where the surgery produces a non-trivial connected sum of lens spaces. The conjecture motivates the proposed lens-space generalization discussed in the paper.
