Hedden–Watson finiteness conjecture for knot Floer homology

Let KK be an L-space knot with knot Floer homology HFK^(K)\widehat{\operatorname{HFK}}(K). Hedden–Watson's finiteness conjecture. There are only finitely many other knots whose Floer homology is isomorphic to HFK^(K)\widehat{\operatorname{HFK}}(K) as bi-graded groups. The rational surgery formula implies that such knots are also L-space knots, and the Alexander polynomial determines the knot Floer homology of an L-space knot. The conjecture is therefore equivalent to finiteness of L-space knots of bounded genus, and remains open in general.
