Comments welcome!", "categories": [ "math.GT" ], "abstract": "Building on Greene's changemaker lattices, we develop a lattice embedding obstruction to realizing an L-space bounding a definite 4-manifold as integer surgery on a knot in the Poincar\\'e homology sphere. As the motivating application, we determine which lens spaces are realized by $p/q$-surgery on a knot $K$ when $p/q > 2g(K) -1$. Specifically, we use the lattice embedding obstruction to show that if $K(p)$ is a lens space and $p \\geq 2g(K)$, then there exists an equivalent surgery on a Tange knot with the same knot Floer homology groups; additionally, using input from Baker, Hedden, and Ni, we identify the only two knots in the Poincar\\'e homology sphere that admit half-integer lens space surgeries. Thus, together with the Finite/Cyclic Surgery Theorem of Boyer and Zhang, we obtain the corollary that lens space surgeries on hyperbolic knots in the Poincar\\'e homology sphere are integral.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-29T18:49:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K10" ], "keywords": [ "poincare homology sphere", "lattice embedding obstruction", "admit half-integer lens space surgeries", "knot floer homology groups", "greenes changemaker lattices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 66, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
