The link-level root-of-unity relation for CGP invariants

Let LL be a framed link in S3S^3 with VV components, let BB be its linking matrix, and let LαL_{\alpha} denote the link with labels α=(α1,,αV)CV\vec\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_V)\in\mathbb C^V. Let FLF_L be a nonzero formal power series in the stated coefficient module, and let FLtF_L^t be obtained by replacing each xInx_I^n and xInx_I^{-n} with the corresponding tq±αItq^{\pm\alpha_I}. The link-level root-of-unity conjecture. For every r2r\ge2 and every αCV\vec\alpha\in\mathbb C^V,

limt1limqexp(2πir)FLt(qα1,,qαV,q)FLt(qrα1,,qrαV,qr)=Nr(S3,Lα)q12(αTBα(r1)2TrB).\lim_{t\to 1}\lim_{q\to\exp(\frac{2\pi i}{r})} \frac{F_L^t(q^{\alpha_1},\dots,q^{\alpha_V},q)}{F_L^t(q^{r\alpha_1},\dots,q^{r\alpha_V},q^r)} =\mathrm N_r(S^3,L_{\alpha})q^{-\frac12(\vec\alpha^{T}B\vec\alpha-(r-1)^2\operatorname{Tr}B)}.

Although the radius of convergence may be less than one, the root-of-unity limit is conjectured to be rational in tt, so that the limit t1t\to1 is interpreted by analytic continuation. This generalizes the knot-level relation to links and connects formal BPS series with CGP link invariants.
