HOMFLY-PT analogue of FKF_K

Let KK be a knot, let aa and qq be parameters, and let A^K(x^,y^,a,q)\hat{A}_K(\hat{x},\hat{y},a,q) be the aa-deformed quantum AA-polynomial. HOMFLY-PT analogue conjecture. There exists a function FK(x,a,q)F_K(x,a,q) such that

A^K(x^,y^,a,q)FK(x,a,q)=0,\hat{A}_K(\hat{x},\hat{y},a,q)F_K(x,a,q)=0,

for every knot KK, and

FK(x,qN,q)=FKSU(N),sym(x,q).F_K(x,q^N,q)=F_K^{{\rm SU}(N),{\rm sym}}(x,q).

Moreover, it obeys the Weyl symmetry

FK(x1,a,q)=FK(a1q2x,a,q).F_K(x^{-1},a,q)=F_K(a^{-1}q^2x,a,q).

The conjecture seeks a single aa-deformed function interpolating the symmetric SU(N)\mathrm{SU}(N) specializations and satisfying the quantum AA-polynomial equation. The source presents it as a future direction and gives no general construction or proof.
