Cable knots do not admit cosmetic surgeries (1804.02210v1)
Published 6 Apr 2018 in math.GT
Abstract: Two Dehn surgeries on a knot are called purely cosmetic if their surgered manifolds are homeomorphic as oriented manifolds. Gordon conjectured that non-trivial knots in $S3$ do not admit purely cosmetic surgeries. In this article, we confirm this conjecture for cable knots.
