Cosmetic surgery on knots

Steven A Bleiler, Craig D Hodgson and Jeffrey R Weeks

Geometry & Topology Monographs 2 (1999) 23–34

Abstract

This paper concerns the Dehn surgery construction, especially those Dehn surgeries leaving the manifold unchanged. In particular, we describe an oriented 1–cusped hyperbolic 3–manifold X with a pair of slopes r1, r2 such that the Dehn filled manifolds X(r1), X(r2) are oppositely oriented copies of the lens space L(49,18), and there is no homeomorphism h of X such that h(r1) = h(r2).

Keywords

Dehn surgery, Dehn filling, hyperbolic knots
