Yang–Baxter homology conjecture for the level-two operator

Let R(2)R_{(2)} be the level-two Yang–Baxter operator, let Hn(R(2))H_n(R_{(2)}) denote its nnth homology, and let kk be the coefficient ring. Let fnf_n be the Fibonacci numbers, with f0=0f_0=0 and f1=1f_1=1. Level-two homology conjecture.

Hn(R(2))=k2(k1y2)bn(2)(k1y4)cn(2),H_n(R_{(2)})=k^2\oplus\left(\frac{k}{1-y^2}\right)^{\oplus b_n(2)}\oplus\left(\frac{k}{1-y^4}\right)^{\oplus c_n(2)},

where

cn(2)=fn+11,bn(2)=2n+1+(1)n3fn+1.c_n(2)=f_{n+1}-1,\qquad b_n(2)=\frac{2^{n+1}+(-1)^n}{3}-f_{n+1}.

The claim is part of the paper’s program of predicting further Yang–Baxter homology calculations for the operators yielding the HOMFLYPT polynomial; the source provides no resolution.
