Riley–Wielenberg conjecture on commensurable hyperbolic knots

Let KK be a hyperbolic knot, and let C(K)C(K) denote the set of knots commensurable with KK.

Riley–Wielenberg conjecture.

C(K)3.|C(K)|\leq 3.

This conjecture has been verified in several cases, including all hyperbolic two-bridge knot complements, (2,3,n)(-2,3,n)-pretzel knot complements, and an infinite family of hyperbolic knot complements. The claim concerns how many knot complements can occur in a commensurability class; its general status is resolved according to the supplied source evidence.
