A complete list of lens spaces constructed by Dehn surgery I

Geometric Topology 2010-05-27 v2

Abstract

Berge in [1] defined doubly primitive knots, which yield lens spaces by Dehn surgery. At the same paper he listed the knots into several types. In this paper we will prove the list is complete when τ>1\tau>1. The invariant τ\tau is a quantity with regard to lens space surgery, which is defined in this paper. Furthermore at the same time we will also prove that Table~6 in [8] is complete as Poincar\'e homology sphere surgery when τ>1\tau>1.
