Ooguri–Vafa conjecture for framed links

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Lτ⃗\mathcal{L}^{\vec{\tau}} be a framed LL-component link with component framings τ⃗=(τ1,…,τL)\vec{\tau}=(\tau_1,\ldots,\tau_L). For nonnegative integers r1,…,rLr_1,\ldots,r_L, not all zero, let k=#{ri∣ri≠0,i=1,…,L}k=\#\{r_i\mid r_i\neq 0, i=1,\ldots,L\}, so that 1≤k≤L1\leq k\leq L, and let fr1,…,rL(Lτ⃗;q,a)\mathfrak{f}_{r_1,\ldots,r_L}(\mathcal{L}^{\vec{\tau}};q,a) be the coefficient functions obtained from the plethystic logarithm of the generating function of framed colored HOMFLYPT invariants. Ooguri–Vafa conjecture. There exist integers N(r1,…,rL),i,j(Lτ⃗)N_{(r_1,\ldots,r_L),i,j}(\mathcal{L}^{\vec{\tau}}), vanishing for sufficiently large ∣i∣|i| and ∣j∣|j|, such that

fr1,…,rL(Lτ⃗;q,a)=(q12−q−12)k−2∑i,j∈ZN(r1,…,rL),i,j(Lτ⃗)ai2qj2.\mathfrak{f}_{r_1,\ldots,r_L}(\mathcal{L}^{\vec{\tau}};q,a)=(q^{\frac{1}{2}}-q^{-\frac{1}{2}})^{k-2}\sum_{i,j\in\mathbb{Z}}N_{(r_1,\ldots,r_L),i,j}(\mathcal{L}^{\vec{\tau}})a^{\frac{i}{2}}q^{\frac{j}{2}}.

This is the proposed integrality and finite-support property of the framed-link BPS, or Ooguri–Vafa, invariants; the paper presents it as a generalization of the knot case, with no resolution supplied here.
