Dehn surgery and non-separating two-spheres

Jennifer Hom, Tye Lidman

Published 2020-06-19Version 1

When can surgery on a null-homologous knot K in a rational homology sphere produce a non-separating sphere? We use Heegaard Floer homology to give sufficient conditions for K to be unknotted. We also discuss some applications to homology cobordism, concordance, and Mazur manifolds.
