On L-space surgeries on two-bridge links
Diego Santoro, Hugo Zhou
We classify the sets of -space surgeries on all two-bridge links, providing the first examples of hyperbolic links for which such sets cannot be described as unions of finitely…

Negative contact surgery on Legendrian non-simple knots
Shunyu Wan, Hugo Zhou
We prove that for any pair of Legendrian representatives of the Chekanov-Eliashberg twist knots with different LOSS invariants, any negative rational contact -surgery with $r\ne…

Surgeries on knots and tight contact structures
Zhenkun Li, Shunyu Wan, Hugo Zhou
For any knot in and any positive rational , we show that smooth -surgery on always admits a tight contact structure. More specifically, the tightness is dete…
