Boileau–Boyer–Cebanu–Walsh rigid cusp conjecture

Let S3K\mathbb{S}^3\setminus K be a hyperbolic knot complement. A rigid cusp is a cusp whose Euclidean 22-orbifold cross-section is one of S2(2,3,6)S^2(2,3,6), S2(3,3,3)S^2(3,3,3), or S2(2,4,4)S^2(2,4,4).

Rigid Cusp Conjecture. If a hyperbolic knot complement S3K\mathbb{S}^3\setminus K covers an orbifold with a rigid cusp, then S3K\mathbb{S}^3\setminus K covers an orbifold with an S2(2,3,6)S^2(2,3,6) cusp.

The conjecture predicts that every hyperbolic knot complement covering an orbifold with any rigid cusp type also covers one with an S2(2,3,6)S^2(2,3,6) cusp. The source's results provide evidence for it, and the source does not state that it has been resolved.
