This answers a question of Aschenbrenner, Friedl and Wilton, and provides the first examples of irreducible manifolds with $b_1=1$ that are known not to be surgery on a knot in the 3-sphere. We further show that our examples are not even homology cobordant to any manifold obtained by Dehn surgery along a knot in the 3-sphere, or any Seifert fibered 3-manifold.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-23T16:12:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dehn surgery", "first examples", "homology cobordant", "irreducible manifolds", "aschenbrenner" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
