Abstract

We show that all large enough positive integral surgeries on algebraic knots bound a 4-manifold with a negative definite plumbing tree, which we describe explicitly. Then we apply the lattice embedding obstruction coming from Donaldson’s Theorem to classify the ones of the form S3n(T(p1,k1p1+1;p2,k2p2±1)) that also bound rational homology 4-balls.
