The Cabling Conjecture for hyperbolic knots in lens spaces
The Cabling Conjecture for hyperbolic knots in lens spaces
Let be a knot in a lens space, and let surgery on produce a non-prime -manifold . A knot is hyperbolic if its exterior admits a complete finite-volume hyperbolic structure.
Baker's conjecture. If is hyperbolic, then
Otherwise, either is a torus knot, a Klein bottle knot, or a cabled knot and the surgery is along the boundary slope of an essential annulus in the exterior of , or is contained in a ball.
This conjecture generalizes the Cabling Conjecture from to lens spaces by proposing that Baker's family accounts for all hyperbolic knots with non-prime surgeries. The statement was disproved by a counterexample constructed in the paper.
