Scalarity conjecture for the root-of-unity knot invariant
Let be a root of unity of order , let be the -dimensional Nichols f-algebra with scaling automorphism , and let be the associated left -matrix. For a knot , write for the resulting knot invariant, and let be its -entry with respect to the alternating-word basis. Scalarity conjecture. For every knot , we have
This asserts that the full endomorphism-valued invariant is determined by its -entry, strengthening the associated scalar polynomial invariant. The supplied text gives no evidence that the claim has been proved or refuted.
