Marino's LMOV integrality conjecture for composite invariants

About 12 years old · traced to

Let L\mathcal{L} be a link with LL components. For tuples of partitions A⃗,B⃗∈PL\vec{A},\vec{B}\in\mathcal{P}^L, let hA⃗(q,t)h_{\vec{A}}(q,t) be the coefficients in the logarithm of the composite-invariant Chern–Simons partition function, and let TAB(x)T_{AB}(x) be the character-theoretic matrix defined by TAB(x)=∑μχA(Cμ)χB(Cμ)zμpμ(x)T_{AB}(x)=\sum_{\mu}\frac{\chi_A(C_\mu)\chi_B(C_\mu)}{z_\mu}p_\mu(x). Set z=q−q−1z=q-q^{-1}.

Marino's conjecture. The reformulated quantities

h^B⃗(q,t)=∑A⃗hA⃗(q,t)TA⃗B⃗(qρ)∈z−2Z[z2,t±1]\hat{h}_{\vec{B}}(q,t)=\sum_{\vec{A}}h_{\vec{A}}(q,t)T_{\vec{A}\vec{B}}(q^\rho)\in z^{-2}\mathbb{Z}[z^2,t^{\pm1}]

so there exist integers NB⃗,g,QN_{\vec{B},g,Q} such that

h^B⃗(q,t)=∑g≥0∑Q∈ZNB⃗,g,Qz2g−2tQ.\hat{h}_{\vec{B}}(q,t)=\sum_{g\geq0}\sum_{Q\in\mathbb{Z}}N_{\vec{B},g,Q}z^{2g-2}t^Q.

The source says this conjecture was checked for many torus knots and links, but gives no resolution of the general claim.
