The Seifert surgery conjecture for knots in the three-sphere
The Seifert surgery conjecture for knots in the three-sphere
Let be a knot in , let be a surgery slope with , and write for the manifold obtained by -surgery on . A Seifert fibred surgery is a surgery yielding a Seifert fibred space. Seifert surgery conjecture. If is a Seifert fibred space and , then is either a torus knot or a cable of a torus knot. This conjecture would identify the knots admitting non-integer Seifert fibred surgeries and underlies the proposed classification of non-integer characterizing slopes for torus knots; its resolution is not supplied here.
