Finiteness of purely cosmetic fillings
A pair of Dehn fillings on a compact, orientable 3-manifold with a torus boundary is said to be purely cosmetic if the resulting 3-manifolds are orientation-preservingly homeomorphic. In this paper, we show that if the torus boundary is incompressible, then there are only finitely many pairs of purely cosmetic fillings.
