Zhou's two-partition Hodge integral formula

About 21 years old · traced to

Let Gμ+,μ−∙(λ;τ)G^\bullet_{\mu^+,\mu^-}(\lambda;\tau) be the disconnected generating function of two-partition Hodge integrals for partitions μ+\mu^+ and μ−\mu^-. Let Rμ+,μ−∙(λ;τ)R^\bullet_{\mu^+,\mu^-}(\lambda;\tau) be the representation-theoretic expression formed from symmetric-group characters and the Hopf-link function Wμ+,μ−(q)\mathcal{W}_{\mu^+,\mu^-}(q), where q=e−1λq=e^{\sqrt{-1}\lambda}. Zhou's conjecture.

Gμ+,μ−∙(λ;τ)=Rμ+,μ−∙(λ;τ).G^\bullet_{\mu^+,\mu^-}(\lambda;\tau)=R^\bullet_{\mu^+,\mu^-}(\lambda;\tau).

This extends the one-partition formula to two partitions and relates two-partition Hodge integrals to the HOMFLY polynomial of the Hopf link. The source provides no evidence of resolution in the supplied material.
