Lens surgeries along the -twisted Whitehead link
We determine lens surgeries (i.e.\ Dehn surgery yielding a lens space) along
the -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)
(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.Comment: 24 pages, 5 figure
