Finite-dimensionality conjecture for link invariants
Let be a link whose components are labeled by representations, and let denote its invariant. A representation is minuscule in the usual representation-theoretic sense.
Finite-dimensionality conjecture. The invariant is only finite-dimensional if all components of are labeled with minuscule representations.
This predicts that infinite-dimensional invariants are typical when at least one component is labeled by a non-minuscule representation; the source gives the claim without resolving its status.
