Chen–Yang integrality conjecture for Turaev–Viro invariants of torus links

Let T(m,n)T_{(m,n)} be the (m,n)(m,n)-torus link in S3S^3, with m<nm<n. Let TVr(S3T(m,n))TV_r(S^3\setminus T_{(m,n)}) be its Turaev–Viro invariant. Chen–Yang integrality conjecture. If rr is coprime to nn, then TVr(S3T(m,n))TV_r(S^3\setminus T_{(m,n)}) is an integer independent of the choice of the roots of unity qq.

The conjecture is suggested by numerical calculations for several torus-knot and torus-link complements and predicts both integrality and root-independence under the stated coprimality condition; it remains open.
