Finiteness conjecture for L-space knots of bounded genus

Let N0N\geq 0 be an integer, and let g(K)g(K) denote the genus of a knot KK. Finiteness conjecture for bounded genus. There are only finitely many L-space knots KK with g(K)Ng(K)\leq N. This is a reformulation of the Hedden–Watson conjecture because the genus of an L-space knot is determined by the degree of its Alexander polynomial. The claim is open; for genus two, the source notes that it is expected that the only examples are T5,2T_{5,2} and its mirror.
