Torus-knot conjecture for nontrivial SU(2)-averse knots

From papers

Let KK be a nontrivial SU(2)SU(2)-averse knot, meaning a knot with the SU(2)SU(2)-averseness property discussed above.

Torus-knot conjecture. If KK is a nontrivial SU(2)SU(2)-averse knot, then KK is a torus knot.

This conjecture predicts that torus knots are the only nontrivial knots with the SU(2)SU(2)-averse property. The preceding results describe restrictions on SU(2)SU(2)-cyclic surgery slopes and satellite constructions, but do not settle whether other SU(2)SU(2)-averse knots exist.
