Gukov–Manolescu conjecture on the series and quantum -polynomial
For every knot in , there should exist a two-variable series
with . Let be the Alexander polynomial, let denote the polynomials occurring in the Melvin–Morton–Rozansky expansion of the colored Jones polynomial, and let be the quantum -polynomial. The notation means that the two sides are related by Borel resummation.
Gukov–Manolescu conjecture. The series satisfies
where the right-hand side is the Melvin–Morton–Rozansky expansion of the colored Jones polynomial, and it is annihilated by the quantum -polynomial:
This conjecture packages the expected resummation relation between and the colored Jones polynomial together with a quantum -polynomial difference equation. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
