Abstract

Let K be a non-trivial knot in the 3-sphere with a lens space surgery and L(p, q) a lens space obtained by a Dehn surgery on K. We study a relationship between the order p of the fundamental group of L(p, q) and the Seifert genus g of K. Considering certain infinite families of knots with lens space surgeries, the following estimation is suggested as a conjecture: [Formula: see text] except for (g, p) = (5, 19).
