Bounded lensbordant surgeries for knots with nonzero \nu^+

Let KK be a knot in S3S^3. A lensbordant surgery on KK is a positive integer surgery that is smoothly rational homology cobordant to a lens space, and let u+(K) u^+(K) denote the knot invariant used in the statement. Bounded lensbordant surgery conjecture. There \exists a positive integer NN such that, for every knot KK in S3S^3 satisfying u+(K)0 u^+(K)\neq 0, the number of lensbordant surgeries on KK is less than NN. This is an analogue of the Cyclic Surgery Theorem, replacing lens-space surgeries by surgeries whose results are smoothly rational homology cobordant to lens spaces; the conjecture asserts a uniform bound independent of the knot.
