Cyclic Surgery on Knots

We get a necessary condition under which a nonsimple knot (i.e. a satellite knot) admits a nontrivial surgery producing a lens space. Interesting corollaries are: (1) if a lens space can be obtained from a nontrivial surgery on a nonsimple knot, then the order of its fundamental group is not …
