Shumakovitch–Turner recurrence conjecture for torus-knot Khovanov polynomials

Let Kn(t,q)K_n(t,q) denote the Poincaré polynomial of the Khovanov homology of the torus knot T(n+1,n)T(n+1,n). Shumakovitch–Turner recurrence conjecture. The polynomials satisfy

K0=K1=q1+q,K2=q+q3+t2q5+t3q9,K_0=K_1=q^{-1}+q,\qquad K_2=q+q^3+t^2q^5+t^3q^9,

and, for n3n\ge3,

Kn=q2n2Kn1+t2n2q6n6Kn2+t2n1q8n8Kn3.K_n=q^{2n-2}K_{n-1}+t^{2n-2}q^{6n-6}K_{n-2}+t^{2n-1}q^{8n-8}K_{n-3}.

The recurrence is stated as a conjecture for the Poincaré polynomials of the Khovanov homology of the family T(n+1,n)T(n+1,n); the supplied text gives no resolution status.
