We study lens space surgeries along two different families of 2-component links, denoted by A m,n and B p,q , related with the rational homology 4-ball used in J. Park's (generalized) rational blow down. We determine which coefficient r of the knotted component of the link yields a lens space by Dehn surgery. The link A m,n yields a lens space only by the known surgery with r = mn and unexpectedly with r = 7 for (m, n) = (2, 3). On the other hand, B p,q yields a lens space by infinitely many r. Our main tool for the proof are the Reidemeister-Turaev torsions, that is, Reidemeister torsions with combinatorial Euler structures. Our results can be extended to the links whose Alexander polynomials are same as those of A m,n and B p,q .surgery if the result is a lens space. We study lens space surgeries along the links A m,n and B p,q , fixing the surgery coefficient of K 2 as 0 except in Section 6.4 and Section 7. Our convention on lens spaces is 'L(a, b) is the result of −a/b-surgery along the trivial knot'.The result of (r, 0)-surgery along a 2-component link L = K 1 ∪ K 2 in S 3 (as ∂B 4 ) such that K 2 is an unknot and r ∈ Z bounds a 4-manifold by attaching a 1-handle along K 2 , and a 2-handle along K 1 with a framing r, to a 0-handle B 4 along S 3 . We denote the 4-manifold by W 4 (L; r,0) following Akbulut [Ak] (see also [GS, Kir]). Then π 1 (W 4 (L; r,0)) Z/|l|Z and H 1 (∂W 4 (L; r,0); Z) Z/l 2 Z, where l is the linking number of K 1 and K 2 , and W 4 (L; r,0) is a rational homology 4-ball if and only if l 0. We also note that K 1 can be regarded as a knot in S 1 × S 2 .We explain a background of our targets A m,n and B p,q . Park [Pa] discussed generalized rational blow down, which is an operation on a 4-manifold cutting a certain submanifold C p,q and pasting a 4-manifold W p,q along ∂C p,q ∂W p,q . The 4manifold W p,q is a rational homology 4-ball that is characterized by π 1 (W p,q ) Z/pZ and ∂W p,q L(p 2 , pq − 1) (see [CH, FS]). To the best of the authors' knowledge, it is unknown whether the diffeomorphism type of W p,q is determined by these properties. A lens space surgery along B p,q whose result is L(p 2 , pq − 1) is often [2] Lens space surgeries along certain 2-component links 79 T. Kadokami and Y.
