Klein bottle surgery and genera of knots

Kazuhiro Ichihara and Masakazu Teragaito

Vol. 210 (2003), No. 2, 317–333
Abstract

In this paper, we study the creation of Klein bottles by surgery on knots in the 3-sphere. For non-cabled knots, it is known that the slope corresponding to such surgery is an integer. We give an upper bound for the slopes yielding Klein bottles in terms of the genera of knots.
