We study lens space surgeries along two different families of 2-component links, denoted by $A_{m,n}$ and $B_{p,q}$, related with the rational homology 4-ball used in J.\ Park's (generalized) rational blow down. We determine which…
It is well-known that the second coefficient of the Alexander polynomial of any lens space knot in $S^3$ is $-1$. We show that the non-zero third coefficient condition of the Alexander polynomial of a lens space knot $K$ in $S^3$ confines…
We show how the Alexander polynomial of links in lens spaces is related to the classical Alexander polynomial of a link in the 3-sphere, obtained by cutting out the exceptional lens space fibre. It follows from these relationship that a…
We determine the lens spaces that arise by integer Dehn surgery along a knot in the three-sphere. Specifically, if surgery along a knot produces a lens space, then there exists an equivalent surgery along a Berge knot with the same knot…
Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o proved the property that any coefficient of Alexander polynomial of lens space knot is either $\pm1$ or $0$ and the non-zero coefficients are alternating. Combining the formulas of the Alexander polynomial of lens space…
It is proved that every knot in the major subfamilies of J. Berge's lens space surgery (i.e., knots yielding a lens space by Dehn surgery) is presented by an L-shaped (real) plane curve as a "divide knot" defined by N. A'Campo in the…
We give an alternative proof of a recent theorem of Tange using the technology of changemaker lattices. Specifically, for $K\subset S^3$ a non-trivial knot with a lens space surgery, we give constraints on the Alexander polynomial of $K$…
In this paper, we consider which lens spaces are obtainable by Dehn surgery described by Berge on doubly primitive knots. It is given an algorithm to decide whether a given lens space is obtainable by such surgery. Also included is a…
We apply Dijkgraaf-Witten invariant over an semiproduct of abelian groups to show that, if the $k/\ell$-surgery along a knot $K$ results in a small Seifert 3-manifold with multiplicities $a_1,a_2,a_3$, then many constraints on…
Let $K$ be a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere. If $r$-surgery on $K$ yields a lens space, then we show that the order of the fundamental group of the lens space is at most $12g-7$, where $g$ is the genus of $K$. If we specialize to genus one…
In an earlier paper, we used the absolute grading on Heegaard Floer homology to give restrictions on knots in $S^3$ which admit lens space surgeries. The aim of the present article is to exhibit stronger restrictions on such knots, arising…
We use Reidemeister torsion to study a twisted Alexander polynomial, as defined by Turaev, for links in the projective space. Using sign-refined torsion we derive a skein relation for a normalized form of this polynomial.
In this paper we study some aspects of knots and links in lens spaces. Namely, if we consider lens spaces as quotient of the unit ball $B^{3}$ with suitable identification of boundary points, then we can project the links on the equatorial…
We present a reduced Burau-like representation for the mixed braid group on one strand representing links in lens spaces and show how to calculate the Alexander polynomial of a link directly from the mixed braid.
Four-dimensional surgery is used to show that a two component link with Alexander polynomial one is topologically concordant to the Hopf link.
Let $M_{\lambda}$ be the $\lambda$-component Milnor link. For $\lambda \ge 3$, we determine completely when a finite slope surgery along $M_{\lambda}$ yields a lens space including $S^3$ and $S^1\times S^2$, where {\it finite slope surgery}…
It is clear that every rational surgery on a Hopf link in $3$-sphere is a lens space surgery. In this note we give an explicit computation which lens space is a resulting manifold. The main tool we use is the calculus of continued…
We determine the Dehn surgeries on 2-bridge links, which yield reducible 3-manifolds. Further, we show the conditions that we obtain a torus or cable knot from one component of a 2-bridge link by a surgery on another component.
Let L be an oriented (d+1)-component link in the 3-sphere, and let L(q) be the d-component link in a homology 3-sphere that results from performing 1/q-surgery on the last component. Results about the Alexander polynomial and twisted…
More analysis of operator determinants on homogeneous three dimensional lens spaces is presented with the emphasis on numerics so that Laplacians for massive fields can be dealt with. Polyhedral quotients are also briefly considered.…
