      In this nice low-dimensional topology article, the author classifies genus one fibered knots in lens spaces. \newline A knot \(K\) in a closed orientable 3-manifold \(M\) is a genus one fibered knot if its exterior is a once-punctured torus bundle over the circle such that the boundary of every fiber is a longitude of \(K\). All such knots arise as follows: \(M\) is the double branched cover of the \(3\)-sphere branched along a closed 3-braid and \(K\) is the lift of a braid axis for the closed braid. If \(M\) is the lens space \(L(\alpha,\beta)\), then the closed braid is the two-bridge link \(\mathfrak{b}(\alpha, \beta)\). Using this point of view the author determines the number of genus one fibered knots in lens spaces, up to homeomorphism of the ambient lens spaces and up to isotopy. In particular, he answers the following question by \textit{K. Morimoto} [J. Math. Soc. Japan 41, No. 1, 81--96 (1989; Zbl 0652.57008)]: ``Are the numbers of genus one fibered knots in all lens spaces bounded?'' As it turns out, every lens space contains at most three genus one fibered knots up to homeomorphism, and every homeomorphism class contains at most two isotopy classes.
