Reidemeister torsion of Seifert fibered homology lens spaces and Dehn surgery (Q2464803)

From the paper: We provide necessary conditions on the Alexander polynomial of a knot \(K\) in a homology sphere and on surgery coefficients \(p/q\) for the surgered manifold to be a Seifert fibered space over \(S^2\). As an application, we show that no \(p/q\)-surgery with \(p>3\) on a knot in a homology sphere with the same Alexander polynomial as the figure eight knot can produce a Seifert fibered space with base \(S^2\). The main tool is the abelian Reidemeister torsion.
