Goda--Teragaito's order bound conjecture for hyperbolic knots with lens space surgeries

Let KS3K\subset S^3 be a hyperbolic knot of genus gg, and suppose that a surgery on KK yields a lens space of order rr. Goda--Teragaito's conjecture. The order satisfies

2g+8r4g1.2g+8\leq r\leq 4g-1.

The conjecture is based on calculations from Berge's conjecturally complete list of double-primitive knots. Its upper bound is consistent with the small-genus result proved in the paper, while the full two-sided bound remains open in the source.
