For the trivial knot \\(K\\), \\textit{C. McA. Gordon} [Lect. Notes Math. 685, 1--60 (1978; Zbl 0386.57002)] conjectured that every nontrivial slope \\(p/q\\) \\((\\ne 1/0)\\) is a characterizing slope. \\textit{P. B. Kronheimer} et al. [Ann. Math. (2) 165, No. 2, 457--546 (2007; Zbl 1204.57038)]  proved this conjecture in the positive using Seiberg-Witten monopoles. See [\\textit{P. Ozsv\u00e1th} and \\textit{Z. Szab\u00f3}, Geom. Topol. 8, 311--334 (2004; Zbl 1056.57020) and Algebr. Geom. Topol. 11, No. 1, 1--68 (2011; Zbl 1226.57044)] for alternative proofs using Heegaard Floer homology.   In the paper under review, the authors establish that for the trefoil knot and the figure-eight knot, every nontrivial slope is a characterizing slope. The proof requires surgery formulas in Heegaard Floer homology  and the characterization of genus one fibered knot in terms of their knot Floer homology due to [\\textit{P. Ghiggini}, Am. J. Math. 130, No. 5, 1151--1169 (2008; Zbl 1149.57019)].   The main results in the paper under review were announced in the authors' preprint (by the same title) [\\url{arXiv:math.GT/0604079}] and have been pioneering results in the study of characterizing slopes for knots. On this occasion let me collect some related recent results.   Any torus knot \\(T_{r, s}\\) is known to have only finitely many non-characterizing slopes which are not integers [\\textit{D. McCoy}, Commun. Anal. Geom. 28, No. 7, 1647--1682 (2020; Zbl 1468.57006)]. See also [\\textit{Y. Ni} and \\textit{X. Zhang}, Algebr. Geom. Topol. 14, No. 3, 1249--1274 (2014; Zbl 1297.57019)].  On the other hand, \\textit{K. L. Baker} and \\textit{K. Motegi} [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 18, No. 3, 1461--1480 (2018; Zbl 1422.57010)] demonstrated that there are infinitely many knots, including hyperbolic knots, with infinitely many non-characterising slopes. See also [\\textit{T. Abe} and \\textit{K. Tagami}, ``Knots with infinitely many non-characterizing slopes'', Preprint, \\url{arXiv:2003.07163}].   However, one may expect that every knot has infinitely many characterizing slopes. This expectation turned out to be true due to \\textit{M. Lackenby} [Math. Ann. 374, No. 1--2, 429--446 (2019; Zbl 1421.57009)]. In particular, Lackenby showed that for a hyperbolic knot \\(K\\), any slope \\(p/q\\) is characterising for \\(K\\) provided that \\(|q|\\) is sufficiently large. Later \\textit{D. McCoy} [Math. Res. Lett. 26, No. 5, 1517--1526 (2019; Zbl 1439.57023)] strengthened this result by showing that any hyperbolic knot can have only finitely many non-characterising slopes with \\(|q|\\ge  3\\).","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2336010$725A39A9-E689-4BA7-80AD-90A1347DD5E9","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"28c74e39fec31723cc36607bd368671753ce39b2","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":402731,"id":"Q402731"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2336010$5C1609D5-CE39-493A-B80A-F357FEF981A7","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"bc7d72afc31daa56187ddeacf9fc4e222846fe29","datavalue":{"value":"57K10","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2336010$0EE6B7CF-557F-4918-B9EC-C10BF7ECB163","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"fc696f051e691625d5d334c7d3c6a8a04189e028","datavalue":{"value":"57K18","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2336010$A6D886AD-47C9-40C2-A064-7D9378026216","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"da723db5bd3cbf694f9473a1b307015180a0ebcb","datavalue":{"value":"7131051","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2336010$F8681201-4BC4-482C-8D49-A444BC5D0888","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"8bb753f39cd890e9990c16d7b46a070697292671","datavalue":{"value":"Dehn
