Dehn surgeries that yield fibred 3-manifolds
@article{Ni2007DehnST, title={Dehn surgeries that yield fibred 3-manifolds}, author={Yi Ni}, journal={Mathematische Annalen}, year={2007}, volume={344}, pages={863-876} }
We study Dehn surgeries on null-homotopic knots that yield fibred 3-manifolds when an additional (but natural) homological restriction is imposed. The major tool used is Gabai’s theory of sutured manifold decomposition. Such surgeries are negative examples to a question of Michel Boileau. Another result we will prove is about surgeries which reduce the Thurston norm of a fibred manifold.

We show that if a surgery on a knot in a product sutured manifold yields the same product sutured manifold, then this knot is a 0‐ or 1‐crossing knot. The proof uses techniques from sutured manifold…

We prove that if K is a nontrivial null-homotopic knot in a closed oriented 3–manfiold Y such that Y −K does not have an S×S summand, then the zero surgery on K does not have an S × S summand. This…

Abstract We prove the nugatory crossing conjecture for fibered knots. We also show that if a knot K is n-adjacent to a fibered knot K′, for some n > 1, then either the genus of K is larger than that…

An open question in classical knot theory is the question of when a crossing change on a knot changes the isotopy class of the knot. The purpose of this paper is to answer this question for fibered…

Twist families of $L$-space knots, their genera, and Seifert surgeries

Conjecturally, there are only finitely many Heegaard Floer L-space knots in $S^3$ of a given genus. We examine this conjecture for twist families of knots $\{K_n\}$ obtained by twisting a knot $K$ in…
Property G and the $4$--genus

We say a null-homologous knot $K$ in a $3$--manifold $Y$ has Property G, if the properties about the Thurston norm and fiberedness of the complement of $K$ is preserved under the zero surgery on $K$.…
