Abstract

Using the mapping cone of a rational surgery, we give several obstructions for Seifert-fibered surgeries, including obstructions on the Alexander polynomial, the knot Floer homology, the surgery coefficient and the Seifert and four-ball genus of the knot. These generalize the corresponding results in Kronheimer, Mrowka, Ozsváth and Szabó ['Monopoles and lens space surgeries', Ann. Math. (2) 165 (2007) 457–546] and Ozsváth and Szabó [On Heegaard Floer homology and Seifert fibered surgeries, Geometry and Topology Monographs 7 (Geometry and Topology Publications, Coventry, 2004)].

I wish to thank Zoltán Szabό, Yi Ni, Paul Kirk and Charles Livingston for interesting discussions on this project. I am especially grateful to Yi for inspiring me with the idea of looking at the size of the surgery coefficient p/q, as well as his help on several technical difficulties in this article.
