The fibered-knot leading-term conjecture for $F_K$

Let $K$ be a fibered knot, let $\genusK$ be its genus, let $\hopfK$ be its Hopf invariant, and let $F_K$ have leading term determined by the exponent $\el(K)$. Fibered-knot leading-term conjecture. The knot $K$ is nice and

$$\el(K)=\genusK-\hopfK,$$

so that

$$\operatorname{lt}(F_K)=q^{\genusK-\hopfK}x^{\genusK-1/2}.$$

This packages the conjectured characterization of fibered knots with the predicted leading behavior of their $F_K$ invariant. It is proved only in the classes covered by the preceding theorems and is open in general.
