Rigidity conjecture for hosting sets of prime knots

Let KK) and LL be prime knots, and let S(K)S(K) and S(L)S(L) denote their hosting sets. Hosting-set rigidity conjecture. If

S(K)=S(L),S(K)=S(L),

then K=LK=L. This asks whether a prime knot is determined by the set of knot types represented by simple closed curves on a minimal genus Seifert surface of it; the broader problem for arbitrary knots is posed in the paper.
