The classification conjecture for hyperbolic doubly primitive knots in non-prime manifolds

Let KK be a doubly primitive knot, meaning a knot of the type specified by the paper's doubly primitive construction, in a non-prime 33-manifold. Let (p,q)(p,q) be a surgery slope, and let Kr,sp,qK_{r,s}^{p,q} denote the paper's knot associated to integers r,sr,s.

Doubly primitive knot classification conjecture. If KK is hyperbolic, then

K=Kr,sp,qK=K_{r,s}^{p,q}

for some slope (p,q)(p,q) and integers r,s±1r,s\neq\pm1.

The conjecture records the authors' failure to find other hyperbolic doubly primitive examples: attempts to generalize known sporadic constructions generally produced surgery duals of cabled knots or knots with Seifert-fibered exteriors. The claim is left as a direction for further investigation.
