Algebraicity conjecture for perturbative invariants of fiber knots

Let MM be a Seifert fibered space with orbifold Euler characteristic χ>0\chi>0, let σ\sigma be the geometric parameter of the Seifert space, and let X{A,B,C,D}X\in\{A,B,C,D\} denote a series of Lie algebras, with BCDBCD interpreted as the combined series appearing in the source. Set LL to be a finite-degree extension of Q(eχu0/(2σ))\mathbb{Q}(e^{-\chi u_0/(2\sigma)}).

Algebraicity conjecture. The extension LL can be chosen depending only on the ambient manifold and the Lie-algebra series X{A,BCD}X\in\{A,BCD\}, and, at least for fiber knots, the perturbative invariants in any representation are Laurent expansions at u00u_0\to0 of elements of LL.

This conjecture extends the explicitly computed algebraic-function description for particular Seifert spaces and Lie types; the source gives no general proof or resolution.
