Dehn surgery and nonseparating two-spheres

Jennifer Hom and Tye Lidman

Vol. 5 (2022), No. 1, 145–153
Abstract

When can surgery on a nullhomologous knot K in a rational homology sphere produce a nonseparating sphere? We use Heegaard Floer homology to give sufficient conditions for K to be unknotted. We also discuss some applications to homology cobordism, concordance, and Mazur manifolds.
