Bounding the Dehn surgery number by 10/8

Beibei Liu ⟨bbliumath@gmail.com⟩

Abstract:

In this talk, we provide new examples of 3-manifolds with weight one fundamental group and the same integral homology as the lens space $L(2k,1)$ which are not surgery on any knot in the three sphere. Our argument uses Furuta’s 10/8-theorem, and is simple and combinatorial to apply. This is joint work with Piccirillo.
