Equality of regular and weak order-detected slopes

Let MM be a knot manifold. The sets of regular order-detected and weakly order-detected slopes on its boundary are denoted by 4Dord(M)44\mathcal{D}_{ord}(M)4 and 4Dordwk(M)44\mathcal{D}_{ord}^{wk}(M)4, respectively, as subsets of the slope set 4S(M)44\mathcal{S}(M)4. Equality conjecture. If MM is a knot manifold, then

Dord(M)=Dordwk(M).\mathcal{D}_{ord}(M)=\mathcal{D}_{ord}^{wk}(M).

Weak order-detection records boundary data from left-orders, while regular order-detection additionally incorporates conjugacy invariance; the conjecture asserts that these notions nevertheless coincide for every knot manifold.
