The Links-Quivers Correspondence for colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials

Let LL be a link, and let P^(L)\widehat{P}(L) denote its rescaled generating function of antisymmetric-colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials. For a symmetric quiver QLQ_L with adjacency matrix QQ, let PQLP_{Q_L} be its cohomological Hall algebra generating function, and let SS and AA be linear forms on a free Z\mathbb{Z}-module whose dimension is the number of vertices of QLQ_L.

Links-Quivers Correspondence. For every link LL, there is a symmetric quiver QLQ_L such that

P^(L)=PQL(x)xi(1)QiiSiqSi1aAix.\widehat{P}(L)=P_{Q_L}(\overline{x})\bigg|_{x_i\mapsto (-1)^{Q_{ii}-S_i}q^{S_i-1}a^{A_i}x}.

Here QQ is regarded as a quadratic form and S,AS,A as linear forms on the corresponding free Z\mathbb{Z}-module. This conjecture proposes a universal quiver description of colored HOMFLY-PT generating functions and is the polynomial form of the Links-Quivers Correspondence; the supplied text does not give evidence that it has been resolved.
