Abstract
The spherical manifold realization problem asks which spherical three-manifolds arise from surgeries on knots in . In recent years, the realization problem for C, T, O, and I-type spherical manifolds has been solved, leaving the D-type manifolds (also known as the prism manifolds) as the only remaining case. Every prism manifold can be parametrized as , for a pair of relatively prime integers and . We determine a complete list of prism manifolds that can be realized by positive integral surgeries on knots in when . The methodology undertaken to obtain the classification is similar to that of Greene for lens spaces.
