Baker showed that
of the
classes of Berge knots are obtained by surgery on the minimally twisted
–chain link. We enumerate
all hyperbolic knots in
obtained by surgery on the minimally twisted
–chain
link that realize the maximal known distances between slopes corresponding to
exceptional (lens, lens), (lens, toroidal) and (lens, Seifert fibred) pairs. In light of
Baker’s work, the classification in this paper conjecturally accounts for “most” hyperbolic
knots in
realizing the maximal distance between these exceptional pairs.
As a byproduct, we obtain that all examples that arise from the
–chain
link actually arise from the magic manifold. The classification highlights additional
examples not mentioned in Martelli and Petronio’s survey of the exceptional fillings
on the magic manifold. Of particular interest is an example of a knot with two lens
space surgeries that is not obtained by filling the Berge manifold (ie the exterior of
the unique hyperbolic knot in a solid torus with two nontrivial surgeries producing
solid tori).
