Mariño's SO/SpSO/Sp Kauffman-invariant integrality conjecture

From papers

Let K{\mathcal K} be a knot, let GR(K){\mathcal G}_R({\mathcal K}) denote its Kauffman invariant in representation RR, and let H(R1,R2)(K){\mathcal H}_{(R_1,R_2)}({\mathcal K}) denote the HOMFLY invariant colored by a composite representation. Define generating functions ZHHZ_{H\overline H} and ZGZ_{\mathcal G} as in the source, define gRg_R by

logZG(v)12logZHH(v)=koddR1kgR(qk,νk)sR(vk),\log Z_{\mathcal G}(v)-\frac12\log Z_{H\overline H}(v)=\sum_{k\,\mathrm{odd}}\sum_R\frac1k g_R(q^k,\nu^k)s_R(v^k),

and set g^R(q,ν)=SMRS1gS\hat g_R(q,\nu)=\sum_S M_{RS}^{-1}g_S, with z=qq1z=q-q^{-1}. SO/SpSO/Sp Kauffman-invariant integrality conjecture. For every representation RR,

g^R(q,ν)Z[z,ν±1],\hat g_R(q,\nu)\in{\mathbb Z}[z,\nu^{\pm1}],

more precisely,

g^R(q,ν)=g0QZ(NR;g,Qc=1z2g+NR;g,Qc=2z2g+1)νQ,\hat g_R(q,\nu)=\sum_{g\geq0}\sum_{Q\in{\mathbb Z}}\left(N^{c=1}_{R;g,Q}z^{2g}+N^{c=2}_{R;g,Q}z^{2g+1}\right)\nu^Q,

where NR;g,Qc=1N^{c=1}_{R;g,Q} and NR;g,Qc=2N^{c=2}_{R;g,Q} are integers, interpreted as BPS invariants for the non-orientable case. This is the non-orientable analogue of the HOMFLY integrality conjecture and implies congruence consequences for Kauffman invariants; its general status is not resolved in the source.
