Distinctness conjecture for Chebyshev knot parametrizations

From papers

Let TnT_n denote the degree-nn Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. Let i,ji,j be relatively prime positive integers, and let k,k,\ell belong to the semigroup denoted by i,j\ll i,j\gg in the source. Distinctness conjecture. If kk\ne\ell, then

(Ti,Tj,Tk)and(Ti,Tj,T)(T_i,T_j,T_k)\quad\text{and}\quad(T_i,T_j,T_{\ell})

define distinct knots. This is one of the conjectures suggested by the observed patterns for knots arising from reduced triples; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
