Bleiler--Litherland's lower bound conjecture for hyperbolic lens space surgeries
Bleiler--Litherland's lower bound conjecture for hyperbolic lens space surgeries
Let be a hyperbolic knot, and suppose that a surgery on yields a lens space of order . Bleiler--Litherland's conjecture. The order satisfies
The paper proves that a hyperbolic knot with a lens space surgery has order or , so the conjecture amounts to excluding the remaining order- case. The source gives no resolution of that case.
