We provide necessary conditions on the Alexander polynomial of a knot K in a homology sphere and on surgery coefficients p∕q for the surgered manifold to be a Seifert fibered space over S2. As an application, we show that no p∕q–surgery with p > 3 on a knot in a homology sphere with the same Alexander polynomial as the figure eight knot can produce a Seifert fibered space with base S2. The main tool is the abelian Reidemeister torsion.
