Kirby's generalized Property R conjecture

Let YY be an integer homology sphere containing a knot KK which admits a surgery to S1×S2S^1 \times S^2. Kirby's generalized Property R conjecture. Then KK is unique up to ambient diffeomorphism. This is an analogue for integer homology spheres of Gabai's Property R theorem for knots in S3S^3. The conjecture is disproved by the exotic Mazur manifolds constructed in the paper, whose inequivalent smooth structures give inequivalent belt spheres.
