Knot-decorated WRT decomposition conjecture

Let M3M_3 be a closed oriented 33-manifold, let KM3K\subset M_3 be a knot colored by a representation R\mathcal R of GG, and let a,ba,b range over TorH1(M3,Z)/Z2\operatorname{Tor} H_1(M_3,\mathbb Z)/\mathbb Z_2. Let ΓK,R\Gamma_{K,\mathcal R} be the corresponding line operator, let Z^b(q;ΓK,R)\widehat Z_b(q;\Gamma_{K,\mathcal R}) be the associated knot-decorated homological block, and let SabS_{ab} be the S-matrix from the WRT decomposition conjecture.

Knot-decorated decomposition conjecture. The WRT invariant satisfies

ZSU(2)k[M3;K,R]=(i2k)b1(M3)1a,bTorH1(M3,Z)/Z2e2πikk(a,a)SabZ^b(q;ΓK,R)qe2πik.Z_{SU(2)_k}[M_3;K,\mathcal R]=(i\sqrt{2k})^{b_1(M_3)-1}\sum_{a,b\in\operatorname{Tor} H_1(M_3,\mathbb Z)/\mathbb Z_2}e^{2\pi i k\ell k(a,a)}S_{ab}\,\widehat Z_b(q;\Gamma_{K,\mathcal R})\big|_{q\rightarrow e^{\frac{2\pi i}{k}}}.

The decorated blocks are required to satisfy

Z^b(q;ΓK,R)2cqΔbZ[[q]],ΔbQ,cZ+,\widehat Z_b(q;\Gamma_{K,\mathcal R})\in2^{-c}q^{\Delta_b}\mathbb Z[[q]],\qquad \Delta_b\in\mathbb Q,\quad c\in\mathbb Z_+,

and to converge for q<1|q|<1. This conjecture extends the proposed WRT categorification from bare 33-manifolds to knots colored by representations, with the same S-matrix. The source reports verification in examples but does not state a general proof.
