    Abstract

    A knot K in the 3-sphere is said to have Property nR if, whenever K is a
    component of an n-component link L and some integral surgery on L produces the
    connected sum of n copies of S^1 x S^2, there is a sequence of handle slides on
    L that converts L into a 0-framed unlink. The Generalized Property R Conjecture
    is that all knots have Property nR for all n.
