Dunfield's orderable Dehn filling conjecture for two-bridge knots
Let be a two-bridge knot, and suppose that its Alexander polynomial has a root . Let and be slopes of incompressible surfaces associated to ideal points of the character variety of the complement of . For some odd integer satisfying , define
Dunfield's conjecture. For every rational slope , Dehn filling along slope is orderable.
This conjecture connects orderability of Dehn fillings of two-bridge knots with slopes arising from ideal points of the character variety. The source presents it as a conjecture motivated by the observed relationship between holonomy extension loci and incompressible-surface boundary slopes; its resolution status is not specified here.
