Gordon's Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture in the hyperbolic case
Let be a -cusped hyperbolic -manifold. Let and be its - and -Dehn-filled manifolds, respectively, and suppose that both are hyperbolic. Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture (Hyperbolic Case). If
then there is no orientation-preserving isometry between and . Proposed by C. Gordon in 1990, this is a well-known question about whether distinct Dehn fillings can yield the same hyperbolic manifold up to orientation-preserving isometry; it has been extensively studied, but the supplied source gives no resolution.
