Distinct Dehn surgery slopes on a nontrivial smooth knot in S^(3) never produce orientation-preservingly homeomorphic manifolds, proving the purely cosmetic surgery conjecture. The statement includes the meridional slope.

We prove the purely cosmetic surgery conjecture for knots in the three-sphere. Distinct Dehn surgery slopes on a nontrivial smooth knot never give orientation-preservingly homeomorphic manifolds.

New mathematical reasoning could help AI tackle harder scientific and computational problems. How reliably these skills transfer beyond mathematics will determine how much they contribute to general intelligence.
