Labastida–Mariño–Ooguri–Vafa integrality conjecture for colored HOMFLY invariants of links

Let L{\cal L} be an unoriented link with LL components, colored by representations R1,,RLR_1,\ldots,R_L. Let f^R1,,RL(t,ν)\hat f_{R_1,\ldots,R_L}(t,\nu) denote the reformulated colored HOMFLY invariant obtained from the link invariants using the inverse matrices associated with each coloring, and set z=tt1z=t-t^{-1}. Labastida–Mariño–Ooguri–Vafa link integrality conjecture. One has

f^R1,,RL(t,ν)zL2Z[z2,ν±1],\hat f_{R_1,\ldots,R_L}(t,\nu)\in z^{L-2}{\mathbb Z}[z^2,\nu^{\pm1}],

that is,

f^R1,,RL(t,ν)=zL2g0QZNR1,,RL;g,Qz2gνQ.\hat f_{R_1,\ldots,R_L}(t,\nu)=z^{L-2}\sum_{g\geq 0}\sum_{Q\in{\mathbb Z}}N_{R_1,\ldots,R_L;g,Q}z^{2g}\nu^Q.

This extends the predicted BPS integrality structure from knots to links and is part of the general integrality framework for colored HOMFLY invariants.
