Gukov–Schwarz–Vafa's superpolynomial conjecture

Let KK be a knot, and let KhRN(q,t)\overline{\mathit{KhR}}_N(q,t) denote the graded Poincaré polynomial of the sl(N)sl(N) Khovanov–Rozansky homology. A finite polynomial has only finitely many nonzero terms. Gukov–Schwarz–Vafa's superpolynomial conjecture. There exists a finite polynomial Pˉ(K)Z[a±1,q±1,t±1]\bar{\mathcal P}(K)\in\mathbb Z[a^{\pm1},q^{\pm1},t^{\pm1}] such that

KhRN(q,t)=1qq1Pˉ(a=qN,q,t)\overline{\mathit{KhR}}_N(q,t)=\frac{1}{q-q^{-1}}\bar{\mathcal P}(a=q^N,q,t)

for all sufficiently large NN. This conjecture proposes a single three-variable polynomial encoding the large-NN sl(N)sl(N) knot homologies; the source gives no resolution status.
