Full L2L^2-Alexander torsion conjecture for knot genus

Let KK be an oriented knot. Full L2L^2-Alexander genus conjecture. The full L2L^2-Alexander torsion satisfies

deg(τ(2)(K)(t))=2genus(K)1.\deg\left(\tau^{(2)}(K)(t)\right)=2\operatorname{genus}(K)-1.

This would make the full L2L^2-Alexander torsion a sharp genus invariant. The source reports partial evidence: for every oriented knot, an epimorphism onto a virtually abelian group is stated to attain the same degree, but the full conjecture remains open.
