HOMFLY-PT specialization conjecture from the augmentation polynomial
HOMFLY-PT specialization conjecture from the augmentation polynomial
Let be a knot in , and let be the polynomial determined by the branch of the zero locus of near through
Here can be expressed using the coefficients of at powers and . Let denote the HOMFLY-PT polynomial of . HOMFLY-PT specialization conjecture.
This gives a proposed relation between the first-order behavior of the augmentation variety and a specialization of the HOMFLY-PT polynomial. It had been checked in the source for all knots whose augmentation polynomial was known.
