On constraints for knots to admit chirally cosmetic surgeries and their calculations

Abstract

We discuss various constraints for knots in S3 to admit chirally cosmetic surgeries, derived from invariants of 3-manifolds, such as, the quantum SO(3)-invariant, the rank of the Heegaard Floer homology, and finite type invariants. We apply them to show that a large portion (roughly 75\%) of knots which are neither amphicheiral nor (2,p)-torus knots with less than or equal to 10 crossings admits no chirally cosmetic surgeries.
