Use the boundary-orientation convention in which surgery on the unknot gives . The negative continued fraction is
Attach three two-handles to a zero-handle along a chain of unknots, with adjacent linking numbers and framings . Equivalently, take the plumbing of oriented disk bundles over three spheres with Euler numbers . Successive slam-dunk moves change the boundary surgery coefficient to , proving that its oriented boundary is in this convention.
The zero sections are a basis of second homology, and the intersection form is
Its successive leading principal minors are . Equivalently those of are , so Sylvester's criterion proves that is negative definite. This explicitly constructs the required filling.
If lens spaces are instead labeled by positive surgery with its boundary orientation, use the chain with framings , whose coefficient is ; its boundary is orientation-preservingly the positive-surgery , since orientation reversal changes to . Its negative-definite form is . This is only a convention change in the named boundary, and specifies a valid filling in either labeling system.
