In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are doubly middle Seifert-fibered. Also we show that all of these knots possibly except a few admit Dehn surgery producing a non-Seifert-fibered graph manifold which consists of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers, glued together along their boundaries. This provides another infinite family of knots in $S^3$ admitting Dehn surgery yielding such manifolds as done in [5].

The Property P Conjecture States that the 3-manifold $Y_r$ obtained by Dehn surgery on a non-trivial knot in $S^3$ with surgery coefficient ${\gamma}{\in}Q$ has the non-trivial fundamental group (so not simply connected). Recently Kronheimer and Mrowka provided a proof of the Property P conjecture for the case ${\gamma}={\pm}2$ that was the only remaining case to be established for the conjecture. In particular, their results show that the two phenomena of having a cyclic fundamental group and having a homomorphism with non-cyclic image in SU(2) are quite different for 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn filings. In this paper we extend their results to some other Dehn surgeries via the A-polynomial, and provide more evidence of the ubiquity of the above mentioned phenomena.

In this paper, we construct infinite families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery producing a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. Also we show that these knots are turned out to be satellite knots, which supports the conjecture that no hyperbolic knot in $S^3$ admits a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers as Dehn surgery.

In this paper, we construct infinite families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery producing a graph manifold which consists of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers, glued together along their boundaries. In particular, we show that for any natural numbers a, b, c, and d with $a{\geq}3$ and $b,c,d{\geq}2$, there are knots in $S^3$ admitting a graph manifold Dehn surgery consisting of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers of indexes a, b, and c, d, respectively.

In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are middle/hyper doubly Seifert. By the definition of middle/hyper doubly Seifert knots, these knots admit Dehn surgery yielding either Seifert-fibered spaces or graph manifolds at a surface slope. We show that middle/hyper doubly Seifert twisted torus knots admit the latter, that is, non-Seifert-fibered graph manifolds whose decomposing pieces consist of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers.

In [4] Miyazaki and Motegi constructed one family of knots in $S^3$ which admits Dehn surgery producing a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. On the other hand, in [3] using doubly hyper Seifert twisted torus knots, the author constructed six families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery yielding a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. It is questioned in [3] whether or not the family of the knots constructed in [4] belongs to one of the six families of the knots in [3]. In this paper, we give the positive answer for this question.

Divide knots and links, defined by A'Campo in the singularity theory of complex curves, is a method to present knots or links by real plane curves. The present paper is a sequel of the author's previous result that every knot in the major subfamilies of Berge's lens space surgery (i.e., knots yielding a lens space by Dehn surgery) is presented by an L-shaped curve as a divide knot. In the present paper, L-shaped curves are generalized and it is shown that every knot in the minor subfamilies, called sporadic examples of Berge's lens space surgery, is presented by a generalized L-shaped curve as a divide knot. A formula on the surgery coefficients and the presentation is also considered.

In this paper, we characterize surgery presentations for $\mathbb{Z}$-homology 3-spheres and $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-homology 3-spheres obtained from $S^3$ by Dehn surgery along a knot or link which admits an even net diagram and show that the Casson invariant for $\mathbb{Z}$-homology spheres and the ${\mu}$-invariant for $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-homology spheres can be directly read from the net diagram. We also construct oriented 4-manifolds bounding such homology spheres and find their some properties.

We determine lens surgeries (i.e. Dehn surgery yielding a lens space) along the n-twisted Whitehead link. To do so, we first give necessary conditions to yield a lens space from the Alexander polynomial of the link as: (1) n = 1 (i.e. the Whitehead link), and (2) one of surgery coefficients is 1, 2 or 3. Our interests are not only lens surgery itself but also how to apply the Alexander polynomial for this kind of problems.

The cyclically presented groups which arise as fundamental groups of cyclic branched coverings of the knot $5_2$ are studied. The fundamental polyhedra for these groups are described. Moreover the cyclic covering manifolds are obtained in terms of Dehn surgery and as two-fold branched coverings of the 3-sphere.
