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