Ichihara–Ito–Saito's chirally cosmetic surgery conjecture for knots in
Let be a knot in that is not a torus knot, and let . Let be a chirally cosmetic pair of slopes on . Ichihara–Ito–Saito's conjecture. Then has an orientation-reversing symmetry and . The conjecture describes the restricted form of chirally cosmetic surgeries expected for non-torus knots in the 3-sphere. The paper states that its formulation is designed to avoid known counterexamples, so the broader unrestricted version is refuted; this restricted statement is presented as the conjecture under discussion.
