Cosmetic surgeries on knots in homology spheres and the Casson--Walker invariant

Key Points

Cosmetic surgeries are constrained by specific requirements concerning knots and surgery slopes.
Key findings involve the application of the rational surgery formula of the Casson-Walker invariant to 2-component links.
The study examines how these properties interact within the context of homology spheres.
Understanding these surgeries may provide insights into topological properties of knots in three-dimensional spaces.

Abstract

We study cosmetic surgeries on a knot in a homology sphere. Several constraints on knots and surgery slopes to admit such surgeries are given. Our main ingredient is the rational surgery formula of the Casson--Walker invariant for 2-component links in the 3-sphere.
