Abstract

Which slopes can or cannot appear as Seifert fibered slopes for hyperbolic knots in the $3$ –sphere $S^{3}$ ? It is conjectured that if $r$ –surgery on a hyperbolic knot in $S^{3}$ yields a Seifert fiber space, then $r$ is an integer. We show that for each integer $n \in ℤ$ , there exists a tunnel number one, hyperbolic knot $K_{n}$ in $S^{3}$ such that $n$ –surgery on $K_{n}$ produces a small Seifert fiber space.
