Baker's lens space cabling conjecture
Baker's lens space cabling conjecture
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 lens space cabling 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. The non-hyperbolic case has been proved by Baker, but a counterexample is known in the hyperbolic case, so the conjecture is refuted.
