Annular Dehn fillings

Geometric Topology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that if a simple 3-manifold MM has two Dehn fillings at distance Δ4\Delta \geq 4, each of which contains an essential annulus, then MM is one of three specific 2-component link exteriors in S3S^3. One of these has such a pair of annular fillings with Δ=5\Delta = 5, and the other two have pairs with Δ=4\Delta = 4.
