Distance one surgeries on the lens space $L(n,1)$
Abstract
In this paper, we show that the lens space for is obtained by a distance one surgery along a knot in the lens space with odd only if and satisfy one of the following cases: (1) is any odd integer and or ; (2) and ; (3) and ; (4) and . As a corollary, we prove that the torus link for is obtained by a band surgery from with odd only if and are as listed above. Combined with the result of Lidman, Moore and Vazquez, it immediately follows that the only nontrivial torus knot admitting chirally cosmetic banding is . The key ingredient of our proof is the Heegaard Floer mapping cone formula.

Comments
We have improved the techniques presented in this paper and extended the results to L(n,1) for all integers n, as detailed in the new paper arXiv:2504.02325. Additionally, we have corrected an error regarding the chirally cosmetic banding of the torus knot T(2,9) in the new paper
