The two-colored Jones-Wenzl projector existence conjecture

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a two-colored realization over a field k\Bbbk, with colors ss and tt, and let JWnsJW_{n_s} and JWntJW_{n_t} denote the corresponding Jones-Wenzl projectors. Write [nk]s{n \brack k}_s and [nk]t{n \brack k}_t for the two-colored quantum binomial coefficients associated with the colors ss and tt. Jones-Wenzl projector existence conjecture. The Jones-Wenzl projectors JWnsJW_{n_s} and JWntJW_{n_t} exist over k\Bbbk if and only if [nk]s{n \brack k}_s and [nk]t{n \brack k}_t are invertible in k\Bbbk for all 1kn1\leq k\leq n. This conjecture revises an earlier claim that the criterion was a theorem; the ordinary uncolored analogue is known, but the two-colored case is left open.
