Akbulut–Kirby conjecture on concordance from homeomorphic 0-surgeries

About 11 years old · traced to

Let KK and K′K' be knots, and let S03(K)S^3_0(K) and S03(K′)S^3_0(K') denote their 0-surgeries. Akbulut–Kirby conjecture. If KK and K′K' have homeomorphic 0-surgeries, then KK and K′K' are smoothly concordant. The conjecture asserts that the 0-surgery determines the smooth concordance class; it was disproved by counterexamples to the original formulation, motivating a revised version.
