Dehn surgeries that yield fibred $3$--manifolds

Geometric Topology 2007-12-31 v1

Abstract

We study Dehn surgeries on null-homotopic knots that yield fibred 33--manifolds when an additional (but natural) homological restriction is imposed. The major tool used is Gabai's theory of sutured manifold decomposition. Such surgeries are negative examples to a question of Michel Boileau. Another result we will prove is about surgeries which reduce the Thurston norm of a fibred manifold.
