Abstract
It is well-known that the second coefficient of the Alexander polynomial of any lens space knot in is . We show that the non-zero third coefficient condition of the Alexander polynomial of a lens space knot in confines the surgery to the one realized by the -torus knot, where is the genus of . In particular, such a lens surgery polynomial coincides with .
