Boyer–Gordon–Hu meridional slope detection conjecture

Let MS1×D2M\ncong S^1\times D^2 be an irreducible rational homology solid torus with longitude λM\lambda_M integrally null-homologous. A rational slope at distance 11 from λM\lambda_M is called meridional, and a slope is CTF-detected if it is realized by the boundary foliation of a co-oriented taut foliation of MM. Boyer–Gordon–Hu's meridional slope conjecture. Every rational meridional slope of MM is CTF-detected. The conjecture is known when MM fibers over the circle, including fibered knot complements; the general case remains open, with the paper providing evidence in some non-fibered cases.
