A remark on a finiteness of purely cosmetic surgeries

Abstract

By estimating the Turaev genus or the dealternation number, which leads to an estimate of knot floer thickness, in terms of the genus and the braid index, we show that a knot KK in S3S^{3} does not admit purely cosmetic surgery whenever g(K)32b(K)g(K)\geq \frac{3}{2}b(K), where g(K)g(K) and b(K)b(K) denotes the genus and the braid index, respectively. In particular, this establishes a finiteness of purely cosmetic surgeries; for fixed bb, all but finitely many knots with braid index bb satisfies the cosmetic surgery conjecture.
