Hyperbolic torsion polynomial conjecture for knot genus

Let $K$ be a hyperbolic knot in $S^3$, and let $b[?25l\cT_Kb[?25h \in \C[t^{\pm1}]$ be its hyperbolic torsion polynomial. The Seifert genus of $K$ is denoted by $g(K)$. Hyperbolic torsion polynomial conjecture. The hyperbolic torsion polynomial determines the Seifert genus $g(K)$; precisely,

$$\deg{\cT_K} = 4g(K)-2.$$

This conjecture proposes that the hyperbolic holonomy representation alone detects the genus of every hyperbolic knot in $S^3$, giving a sharp lower bound for the Thurston norm. It is motivated by experimental evidence and the results established for broad classes of hyperbolic knots, but its general status is not specified here.
