The HOMFLY polynomial conjecture for hypergraph interior polynomials

Let GG be the connected bipartite graph from the construction above, with bipartition denoted by VV and EE, and let LGL_G be its associated link. Write PLG(v,z)P_{L_G}(v,z) for the HOMFLY polynomial and LG(z)=PLG(1,z)\nabla_{L_G}(z)=P_{L_G}(1,z) for the Alexander–Conway polynomial. Let I(V,E)(ξ)I_{(V,E)}(\xi) be the interior polynomial of the associated hypergraph. The HOMFLY polynomial conjecture. The part of PLGP_{L_G} which, after substituting v=1v=1, becomes the leading term in LG(z)\nabla_{L_G}(z) is equal to

(vz)R1I(V,E)(v2).(vz)^{|R|-1}I_{(V,E)}(v^2).

This conjecture extends a result of Jaeger by relating the HOMFLY polynomial of LGL_G to the interior polynomial of the associated hypergraph. The source does not provide evidence of a resolution.
