Abstract
Let K be a knot in S3, and M and M'
be distinct Dehn surgeries along K. We investigate when M covers M'. When K
is a torus knot, we provide a complete classification of such covers. When K
is a hyperbolic knot, we provide partial results in the direction of the conjecture that M never covers M'.
