Oblomkov–Shende conjecture for HOMFLY polynomials of algebraic links
Oblomkov–Shende conjecture for HOMFLY polynomials of algebraic links
Let be a curve in given by and passing through the origin. Intersecting with the boundary of a sufficiently small ball around the origin gives an oriented link in the -sphere. Let be the moduli space of pairs with a torsion-free sheaf on , a section, and , whose section vanishes only at the origin. Let be the locus where , and let be the Milnor number. If denotes the HOMFLY polynomial of the link , then Oblomkov–Shende conjecture.
The source explains that this conjecture was proven mathematically for torus knots, while presenting the surrounding argument as a physics proof. Thus the general statement is treated as open here, with known special cases.
