Abstract

Every prism manifold can be parametrized by a pair of relatively prime integers p > 1 and q. In our earlier papers, we determined a complete list of prism manifolds P(p,q) that can be realized by positive integral surgeries on knots in S³ when q < 0 or q > p; in the present work, we solve the case when 0 < q < p. This completes the solution of the realization problem for prism manifolds.
