Abstract

We show that a $(p,q)$-cable of a non-trivial knot K does not admit chirally cosmetic surgeries for $q\neq 2$, or $q=2$ with additional assumptions. In particular, we show that a $(p,q)$-cable of a non-trivial knot K does not admit chirally cosmetic surgeries as long as the set of JSJ pieces of the knot exterior does not contain the $(2,r)$-torus exterior for any r. We also show that an iterated torus knot other than the $(2,p)$-torus knot does not admit chirally cosmetic surgery.
