The Gonzales-Acuña–Short cabling conjecture for knots in the 3-sphere

From papers

Let KK be a knot in S3S^3. A surgery on KK may produce a non-prime 33-manifold.

Gonzales-Acuña–Short's cabling conjecture. If a knot in S3S^3 admits a surgery to a non-prime 33-manifold, then the knot is either a torus knot or a cabled knot.

Greene proved this in the special case where the surgery produces a non-trivial connected sum of lens spaces. The conjecture motivates the proposed lens-space generalization discussed in the paper.
