Abstract
We say that 
is a characterizing slope for a knot 
in the 3-sphere if the oriented homeomorphism type of -surgery is sufficient to determine the knot uniquely. I will discuss the problem of determining which slopes are characterizing for torus knots, paying particular attention to non-integer slopes. This problem is related to determining which knots in 
have Seifert fibered surgeries.
