Fixed-point conjecture for L-space knots

About 6 years old · traced to

Let KK be an L-space knot, and let μ\mu and λ\lambda represent a meridian and a longitude in the knot group. For a homomorphism ρ\rho from π1(S3∖K)\pi_1(S^3\setminus K) to Homeo⁡+(R)\operatorname{Homeo}_+(\mathbf{R}), say that it has no global fixed point when the action has no point fixed by the whole image. Fixed-point conjecture for L-space knots. There exists an element kk in the knot group such that, for every homomorphism ρ\rho from π1(S3∖K)\pi_1(S^3\setminus K) to Homeo⁡+(R)\operatorname{Homeo}_+(\mathbf{R}) without global fixed points, if ρ(μ)\rho(\mu) and ρ(λ)\rho(\lambda) have the same set of fixed points, then ρ(k)\rho(k) has no fixed points. The statement is proposed as a possible key step toward proving that fundamental groups of L-spaces obtained by Dehn surgery are not left orderable; the source gives no resolution status.
