The satellite AA-polynomial formula for integer pseudo-graph knots

Let CGZC\in\mathcal{G}_{\mathbb{Z}} have strongly detected boundary slopes DSC\mathcal{DS}_{C}, and let K=Sat(P,C,f)K=\operatorname{Sat}(P,C,f) be a satellite knot whose embedded pattern knot f(P)Vf(P)\subset V has winding number zero in VV. For each rDSCr\in\mathcal{DS}_{C}, let f(P)rf(P)_r be the knot obtained from f(P)f(P) in the (1/r)(1/r)-Dehn filling of VV, and let A~f(P)r\widetilde{A}_{f(P)_r} have the notation of the preceding theorem. Satellite AA-polynomial conjecture. The AA-polynomial of K=Sat(P,C,f)K=\operatorname{Sat}(P,C,f) is given by

AK=Red[(L1)rDSCA~f(P)r].A_K=\operatorname{Red}\left[(L-1)\prod_{r\in\mathcal{DS}_{C}}\widetilde{A}_{f(P)_r}\right].

This extends the preceding theorem from CG0C\in\mathcal{G}_{0} to CGZC\in\mathcal{G}_{\mathbb{Z}} and would provide a method for calculating the AA-polynomials of many satellite knots; no resolution is stated.
