Abstract
We show that two Dehn surgeries on a knot never yield manifolds that are homeomorphic as oriented manifolds if or . As an application, we verify the cosmetic surgery conjecture for all knots with no more than crossings except for three -crossing knots and five -crossing knots. We also compute the finite type invariant of order for two-bridge knots and Whitehead doubles, from which we prove several nonexistence results of purely cosmetic surgery.
