The evaluation-map conjecture for the HOMFLYPT difference module
The evaluation-map conjecture for the HOMFLYPT difference module
Let be a link, let be its HOMFLYPT difference module, let be its distinguished link class, and let be the evaluation map. Let be the annihilator of and let be the annihilator of . Evaluation-map conjecture. The map is injective and
This is the formal conjecture underlying the claim that the HOMFLYPT difference module captures exactly the relations among antisymmetric colored HOMFLYPT polynomials; its resolution would also clarify the relation between the quantum recursion ideal and its classical augmentation ideal. The supplied text gives no resolution.
