Gordon's conjecture on Seifert fibered surgeries on hyperbolic knots
Gordon's conjecture on Seifert fibered surgeries on hyperbolic knots
Let be a hyperbolic knot, and let denote the result of -Dehn surgery on . A surgery is integer when .
Gordon's conjecture. If is a Seifert fibered space, then
This conjecture asserts that Seifert fibered manifolds cannot arise from non-integer surgeries on hyperbolic knots in . It would replace the exceptional-surgery results used in the paper and would imply the subsequent characterization of Montesinos knots with proper rational unknotting number one.
