Abstract

Let K=K(w,b,t)K= K(w,b,t) be a 1-bridge braid in a solid torus VV, and let γ\gamma be a (p,q)(p,q) curve on the torus T=VT = \partial V of the exterior MKM_K of KK. It will be shown that Dehn filling on TT along γ\gamma produces a solid torus if and only if pp and qq satisfy one of four conditions determined by the parameters (w,b,t)(w,b,t) of the knot KK. This solves the classification problem raised by Menasco and Zhang for such Dehn fillings.
