Gordon's Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture in the hyperbolic case

About 10 years old · traced to

Let M\mathcal{M} be a 11-cusped hyperbolic 33-manifold. Let M(p/q)\mathcal{M}(p/q) and M(p′/q′)\mathcal{M}(p'/q') be its p/qp/q- and p′/q′p'/q'-Dehn-filled manifolds, respectively, and suppose that both are hyperbolic. Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture (Hyperbolic Case). If

p/q≠p′/q′,p/q\neq p'/q',

then there is no orientation-preserving isometry between M(p/q)\mathcal{M}(p/q) and M(p′/q′)\mathcal{M}(p'/q'). 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.
