The nonsymmetric skein-module localization conjecture for knots

Let KS3K\subset S^3 be a knot. Let K^q(S3K)\widehat{K}_q(S^3\setminus K) be its nonsymmetric skein module, let K^qloc(S3K)\widehat{K}^{\mathrm{loc}}_q(S^3\setminus K) be its localization, and let

η:K^q(S3K)K^qloc(S3K)\eta:\widehat{K}_q(S^3\setminus K)\longrightarrow \widehat{K}^{\mathrm{loc}}_q(S^3\setminus K)

be the natural localization map. Let Hq,(t1,t2,1,1)\mathscr{H}_{q,(t_1,t_2,1,1)} act naturally on the localized module. The nonsymmetric skein-module localization conjecture. For every knot KS3K\subset S^3, the map η\eta is injective, and the natural action of Hq,(t1,t2,1,1)\mathscr{H}_{q,(t_1,t_2,1,1)} on K^qloc(S3K)\widehat{K}^{\mathrm{loc}}_q(S^3\setminus K) preserves the subspace K^q(S3K)\widehat{K}_q(S^3\setminus K), namely the image of η\eta. The claim generalizes the behavior verified for the unknot in the preceding example; the source gives no resolution status.
