Abstract
Let be a tunnel number one knot in with irreducible knot exterior, where is either , or a connected sum of with any lens space. (In particular, this includes .) We prove that if a non-trivial Dehn surgery on yields a lens space, then is a doubly primitive knot in . For this resolves the tunnel number one Berge Conjecture. For this resolves a conjecture of Greene and Baker-Buck-Lecuona for tunnel number one knots.
