Abstract

We consider knots in S^1 x S^2 with a Dehn surgery to a lens space and how this parallels what happens for knots in S^3. The Cyclic Surgery Theorem enables a classification for non-longitudinal surgeries, while Berge's families of doubly primitive knots in S^3 motivate our conjectural classification for longitudinal surgeries. We will compare this conjectural picture with the Berge Conjecture and propose a means of relating the two.
