Strong version of Ishii's conjecture for the Links–Gould invariant
Let be an alternating link with components, and write its Links–Gould polynomial as
For a two-indexed sequence , define its support by ; it has no interior zeros when
Strong version of Ishii's conjecture. The coefficients satisfy for all , and has no interior zeros. The source notes that this stronger formulation is false for another two-variable Alexander-polynomial generalization, but gives no resolution for the Links–Gould claim.
