HOMFLYPT quantum one-cocycle evaluation conjecture

Let KK be a long knot, let v2(K)v_2(K) be its Vassiliev invariant of degree 22, and let PKP_K be its HOMFLYPT polynomial. Let δ\delta denote the HOMFLYPT polynomial of the trivial 22-component link, and let Rˉ(1)\bar R^{(1)} be the combinatorial 11-cocycle based on the HOMFLYPT invariant. Then

HOMFLYPT quantum one-cocycle conjecture.

Rˉ(1)(rot(K))=δv2(K)PK.\bar R^{(1)}(\operatorname{rot}(K))=-\delta v_2(K)P_K.

The conjecture is proved in the paper for the trivial knot, the trefoil, and the figure-eight knot; its general case remains open in the supplied text.
