The Poincaré homology sphere, lens space surgeries, and some knots with tunnel number two

Kenneth L. Baker

Appendix: Neil R. Hoffman

Vol. 305 (2020), No. 1, 1–27
Abstract

We exhibit an infinite family of knots in the Poincaré homology sphere with tunnel number 2 that have a lens space surgery. Notably, these knots are not doubly primitive and provide counterexamples to a few conjectures. Additionally, we update (and correct) our earlier work on Hedden’s almost-simple knots. In the appendix, it is shown that a hyperbolic knot in the Poincaré homology sphere with a lens space surgery has either no symmetries or just a single strong involution.
