We provide a new obstruction for a rational homology 3-sphere to arise by Dehn surgery on a given knot in the 3-sphere. The obstruction takes the form of an inequality involving the genus of the knot, the surgery coefficient, and a count of…

Let K be a non-trivial knot in the 3-sphere with a lens space surgery and L(p,q) a lens space obtained by a Dehn surgery on K. We study a relationship between the order of the fundamental group of L(p,q) and the Seifert genus of K.

R.~Lawrence has conjectured that for rational homology spheres, the series of Ohtsuki's invariants converges p-adicly to the SO(3) Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant. We prove this conjecture for Seifert rational homology spheres. We also…

In this article, the author defines an invariant of rational homology 3-spheres equipped with a contact structure as an element of a cohomotopy set of the Seiberg-Witten Floer spectrum as defined in Manolescu (2003). Furthermore, in light…

Updated rerefences and introduction. Given a knot in an integer homology sphere, one can construct a family of closed 3-manifolds (parametrized by the positive integers), namely the cyclic branched coverings of the knot. In this paper we…

We give some constraints on intersection forms of spin 4-manifolds bounded by Seifert rational homology 3-spheres in terms of the $\bar{\mu}$ invariant and compare them with those in terms of the $\kappa$ invariant. We also show that the…

We establish a surgery exact triangle for involutive Heegaard Floer homology by using a doubling model of the involution. We use this exact triangle to give an involutive version of Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o's mapping cone formula for knot surgery.…

We give a rational surgery formula for the Casson-Walker invariant of a 2-component link in $S^{3}$ which is a generalization of Matveev-Polyak's formula. As application, we give more examples of non-hyperbolic L-space $M$ such that knots…

In a previous paper by the author a universal ring of invariants for algebraic structures of a given type was constructed. This ring is a polynomial algebra that is generated by certain trace diagrams. It was shown that this ring admits the…

Kricker defined an invariant of knots in homology 3-spheres which is a rational lift of the Kontsevich integral, and proved with Garoufalidis that this invariant satisfies splitting formulas with respect to a surgery move called null-move.…

We give invariants of pairs $(M,L)$ consisting of a closed connected oriented three-manifold and an (oriented) framed link $L$ embedded in $M$. This invariant generalizes the Kuperberg and Hennings-Kauffman-Radford (HKR) invariants of…

Let $M$ be a sphere with handles and holes, $f:M\to\mathbb R^3$ an embedding, and $H_1=H_1(M;\mathbb Z)$. We study a simple isotopy invariant of $f$, the Seifert bilinear form $L(f):H_1\times H_1\to\mathbb Z$. Let $\cap:H_1\times…

We characterize L-spaces which are Seifert fibered over the 2-sphere in terms of taut foliations, transverse foliations and transverse contact structures. We give a sufficient condition for certain contact Seifert fibered 3-manifolds with…

From classical knot theory we know that every knot in $S^3$ is the boundary of an oriented, embedded surface. A standard demonstration of this fact achieved by elementary technique comes from taking a regular projection of any knot and…

Let \Theta (M,K) denote the 2-loop piece of (the logarithm of) the LMO invariant of a knot K in M, a ZHS^3. Forgetting the knot (by which we mean setting diagrams with legs to zero) specialises \Theta (M,K) to \lambda (M), Casson's…

We provide infinitely many rational homology 3-spheres with weight-one fundamental groups which do not arise from Dehn surgery on knots in $S^3$. In contrast with previously known examples, our proofs do not require any gauge theory or…

An irreducible 3--manifold with torus boundary either is a Seifert fibered space or admits at most three lens space fillings according to the Cyclic Surgery Theorem. We examine the sharpness of this theorem by classifying the non-hyperbolic…

For every rational homology 3-sphere with 2-torsion only we construct a unified invariant (which takes values in a certain cyclotomic completion of a polynomial ring), such that the evaluation of this invariant at any odd root of unity…

We establish a $d$-invariant surgery formula for $L$-space knots that provides an effective tool for studying surgeries between lens spaces. Using this formula, we classify distance one surgeries between lens spaces of the form $L(n,1)$.…

We establish a structural understanding of the involutive Heegaard Floer homology for all linear combinations of almost-rational (AR) plumbed three-manifolds. We use this to show that the Neumann-Siebenmann invariant is a homology cobordism…
