Hyperbolic realization conjecture for knot symmetry types

Let GG be a finite cyclic or dihedral group. A GG-symmetry type of a prime knot is a symmetry type arising from an action of GG on the knot. Hyperbolic realization conjecture. For each GG-symmetry type of a prime knot, there is a GG-symmetric hyperbolic knot KK with that type and for which GG is the full symmetry group of KK. The theorem preceding this conjecture establishes realization for nontrivial knots, and for prime knots except for the listed exceptional types; the conjecture asks for hyperbolic representatives with no additional symmetries.
