Abstract

Using the correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology, we prove that if a knot in S3 admits a positive integral T-, O-, or I-type surgery, it must have the same knot Floer homology as one of the knots given in our complete list, and the resulting manifold is orientation-preservingly homeomorphic to the p-surgery on the corresponding knot.
