Precise satellite L-space knot characterization conjecture

Let PP be a pattern in the solid torus, let KK be a knot of genus gg, let UU denote the unknot, and write P(U,n)P(U,-n) for the pattern knot after n-n full twists. Satellite L-space knot characterization conjecture. The satellite knot P(K)P(K) is an L-space knot if and only if all of the following hold: KK is an L-space knot; P(U,2g+1)P(U,-2g+1) is an L-space knot; adding 2g+1-2g+1 full twists to PP yields a strongly quasipositive braid in D2×S1D^2\times S^1; and P(U,n)P(U,-n) is a negative L-space knot for all sufficiently large integers nn. This is the paper's more precise formulation of a proposed converse, but the third condition contains a question mark in the source and should be checked against the original manuscript.
