Genus-one gluing model of a lens space (${\mu }_2\mapsto -q{\mu }_1+p{\lambda }_1$)

The quotient model of a lens space splits into two solid tori. In the boundary angle lattice ${\mathbb{Z}}^2+\mathbb{Z}(1/p,q/p)$, choose ${\mu }_1=(0,1)$ and ${\lambda }_1=(1/p,q/p)$. The other meridian is $(1,0)=-q{\mu }_1+p{\lambda }_1$. A second column completing this primitive slope to a determinant-one matrix specifies a gluing map after reversing one boundary-basis convention. Different completions differ by a meridional Dehn twist extending across the second solid torus, so they give the same three-manifold.
