Scalarity conjecture for the finite-dimensional Yetter–Drinfeld knot invariant
Assume that is not a root of unity, that satisfies for some integer , and that . Let be the -dimensional right Yetter–Drinfeld f-module generated by , and let be the associated -matrix. For a knot , write for the resulting knot invariant, and let be its -entry. Scalarity conjecture. For every knot , we have
This claims that the endomorphism-valued invariant associated with the finite-dimensional module is scalar and hence completely determined by its first matrix entry. The supplied text gives no evidence that the claim has been proved or refuted.
