Surgical Distance between Lens Spaces

چکیده
It is well-known that any pair of closed orientable 3-manifolds are related by a finite sequence of Dehn surgeries on knots. Furthermore Kawauchi showed that such knots can be taken to be hyperbolic. In this article, we consider the minimal length of such sequences connecting a pair of 3-manifolds, in particular, a pair of lens spaces.

Distance between Anterior Commissure and the First Tracheal Ring: An Important New Clinical Laryngotracheal Measurement
Introduction: The distance between the anterior commissure of the larynx and the first tracheal ring (AC.T. distance) is of great importance in laryngotracheal surgeries. The amount of narrowing of the subglottic airway is used as a quantitative mean to determine whether the lesion is subglottic or has extended to the trachea and therefore helps in the prediction of the final prognosis. Mate...
متن کاملLens spaces obtainable by surgery on doubly primitive knots
Given a knot K in a 3–manifold, the following operation is called Dehn surgery on K : Remove an open regular neighborhood of K , and glue a solid torus back. Dehn surgeries on the trivial knot in the 3–sphere S give the well-known class of 3– manifolds, the so-called lens spaces. On the other hand, it is known that only restricted Dehn surgeries on nontrivial knots yield lens spaces. Such a non...
متن کاملThe effect of different monovision contact lens powers on the visual function of emmetropic presbyopic patients (an American Ophthalmological Society thesis).
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of three increasing powers of monovision contact lenses on both objective and subjective vision in emmetropic presbyopic patients. METHODS A prospective single-center study was conducted on 50 emmetropic presbyopic patients with a mean age of 55.4 +/- 4.3 years (range, 50 to 66). Each patient wore for 1 week a +0.75 D, +1.50 D, and +2.50 D contact lens in the n...
متن کاملThe effect of testing distance on intraocular lens power calculation.
The calculation of the intraocular lens (IOL) power required for a specific patient typically uses a “lens constant” back-calculated from the refractive outcomes of earlier surgical results.1,2 An early recommendation was for clinicians to personalize their own lens constants to address systematic errors. However, the introduction of phacoemulsification equipment, continuous curvilinear capsulo...
متن کاملOn the Classification of Fake Lens Spaces
In the first part of the paper we present a classification of fake lens spaces of dimension ≥ 5 whose fundamental group is the cyclic group of order any N ≥ 2. The classification is stated in terms of the simple structure sets in the sense of surgery theory. The results use and extend the results of Wall and others in the cases N = 2 and N odd and the results of the authors of the present paper...
