Irreducible homology S^1xS^2s which aren't zero surgery on knot
Abstract: I'll discuss constructions of manifolds with the homology of
S^1xS^2 which don't arise as Dehn surgery on a knot in S^3. Our examples have weight one fundamental group and were constructed to answer a question of Aschenbrenner, Friedl and Wilton. Moreover, they are not even homology cobordant to surgery on a knot in S^3. One of our obstructions comes from d-invariants and was noted by Ozsvath and Szabo early on in the development of Heegaard Floer theory. This is joint work with Tom Mark, Kyungbae Park, and Min Hoon Kim.
