The conjecture that all knots are H-restricted

Let KK be a knot, and let C(K)\mathcal{C}(K) be its complex of graded modules over the algebra A\mathcal{A}. The knot is H-restricted when the non-acyclic indecomposable summands of C(K)\mathcal{C}(K) are one A{i}\mathcal{A}\{i\} for some ii, together with one or several C1[j]{k}C_1[j]\{k\} for j,kZj,k\in\mathbb Z. H-restrictedness conjecture. All knots are H-restricted. This property is known for (2,2m+1)(2,2m+1)-torus knots and the figure-eight knot, and it is preserved under connected sum; whether every knot has the property remains open.
