Filtered instanton homology and cosmetic surgery
Abstrak
The cosmetic surgery conjecture predicts that for a non-trivial knot in the three-sphere, performing two different Dehn surgeries results in distinct oriented three-manifolds. Hanselman reduced the problem to $\pm 2$ or $\pm 1/n$ surgeries being the only possible cosmetic surgeries. We remove the case of $\pm 1/n$-surgeries using the Chern-Simons filtration on Floer's original irreducible-only instanton homology, reducing the conjecture to the case of $\pm 2$ surgery on genus $2$ knots with trivial Alexander polynomial. We also prove some similar results for surgeries on knots in $S^2 \times S^1$. As key steps in establishing these results, we define invariants of the oriented homeomorphism type of three-manifolds derived from filtered instanton Floer homology and introduce a new surgery relationship for Floer's instanton homology.
