Order-detection converse for left-orderable gluings

Let M1M_1 and M2M_2 be knot manifolds, and let

W=M1fM2,W=M_1\cup_f M_2,

where f:M1    M2f:\partial M_1\xrightarrow{\;\cong\;}\partial M_2 is a homeomorphism. A slope [αi][\alpha_i] belongs to the set Dord(Mi)\mathcal{D}_{ord}(M_i) of order-detected slopes on Mi\partial M_i. Order-gluing conjecture. If π1(W)\pi_1(W) is left-orderable, then ff identifies slopes [α1]Dord(M1)[\alpha_1]\in\mathcal{D}_{ord}(M_1) and [α2]Dord(M2)[\alpha_2]\in\mathcal{D}_{ord}(M_2). This is the expected converse to the paper's sufficient gluing criterion; it has been verified in some cases, including when every left-order on one factor is boundary-cofinal.
