The flow-loop count equals the BPS quantum series for fibered links

Let KK be a fibered link, let ΦS3K\Phi_{S^3 \setminus K} denote its GL1\mathrm{GL}_1-skein-valued flow loop count, and let Z^S3K\widehat{Z}_{S^3 \setminus K} denote the BPS qq-series, normalized to begin with 1+1+\cdots.

Flow-loop/BPS-series conjecture. For every fibered link KK,

ΦS3K=Z^S3K.\Phi_{S^3 \setminus K}=\widehat{Z}_{S^3 \setminus K}.

The conjecture gives a precise formulation of the open Gromov–Witten invariants considered in the cited work. The BPS qq-series is currently defined for braid-homogeneous links and, more generally, links admitting nice diagrams; when no independent definition is available, the assertion is interpreted as a resummation of the Melvin–Morton–Rozansky expansion of the colored Jones polynomials.
