Abstract
We show that if a knot has a minimal spanning surface that admits certain Gabai disks, then a manifold obtained by ±1-Dehn surgery along the knot has infinite fundamental group. As one of the applications we extend and simplify a recent result of Menasco and Zhang that closed 3-braid knots have Property P. Other applications are given. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
