On trivial mapping class group of 3-manifolds
What are some examples of knots $K\subset S^3$ such that the mapping class group of $S^3_{1/n}(K)$ is trivial? I guess for hyperbolic knots with no symmetry in the complements are good candidate as ...

Ideal triangulation of hyperbolic 3-manifold with generic mapping class group
I am from physics background so I apologize in advance if my question is trivial.
Kojima proves for every finite group $G$, there is a hyperbolic 3-manifold such that its mapping class group equals $G$...
