As a consequence we show that if a hyperbolic knot $\\beta$ in a compact, orientable, hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ has the property that winding number and wrapping number are not equal with respect to a non-trivial class in $H_2(M,\\boundary M)$, then, with only a few possible exceptions, every 3-manifold $M'$ obtained by Dehn surgery on $\\beta$ with surgery distance $\\Delta \\geq 2$ will be hyperbolic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-07T18:10:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exceptional surgeries", "exceptional classes", "study exceptional dehn fillings", "hyperbolic", "classical combinatorial sutured manifold theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.1597T" } } }
