“…The Slopes Conjecture [6], and its refinement [15], assert that the Jones slopes of a knot K are boundary slopes and that the cluster points of the linear terms {s 1 (n)} , {s * 1 (n)} contain information about the topology of incompressible surfaces that realize them. The conjectures have been proved for broad classes of knots including adequate and Montesinos knots [6,9,8], for some of their satellites including cables and Whitehead doubles [15,2], and they were shown to imply that the colored Jones polynomials detect torus knots and the figure-8 knot [13,14]. In this setting, Theorem 2.5 answers a question of Garoufalidis [6, Question 1].…”
