SO-type super-A-polynomial branch conjecture

Let KK be a knot satisfying the exponential growth property. Let ASO(K;x,y,a,t)\mathscr{A}^{\operatorname{SO}}(K;x,y,a,t) be the SO-type super-AA-polynomial, and let ASO(K;x,y,a)A^{\operatorname{SO}}(K;x,y,a) and ASU(K;x,y,a)A^{\operatorname{SU}}(K;x,y,a) be the SO- and SU-type aa-deformed AA-polynomials.

SO-type super-A-polynomial branch conjecture. At t=1t=-1, the zero locus

ASO(K;x,y,a,t=1)=0\mathscr{A}^{\operatorname{SO}}(K;x,y,a,t=-1)=0

includes the two branches

ASO(K;x,y,a)=0A^{\operatorname{SO}}(K;x,y,a)=0

and

ASU(K;x,y,a)=0.A^{\operatorname{SU}}(K;x,y,a)=0.

The claim identifies both classical SO- and SU-type branches inside the decategorified SO-type super-AA-polynomial; the supplied text does not give a resolution status.
