Tye Lidman, NC State, Band surgeries and lens space surgeries

Dehn surgery is a fundamental operation in three-manifold topology which turns a knot into a new three-manifold. We characterize Dehn surgeries between certain lens spaces and relate this to an elementary question in knot theory. This is joint work with Allison Moore.
