Torus-link reformulated colored HOMFLY polynomial structure conjecture

Let T(rl,kl)T(rl,kl) be a torus link, where rr and kk are relatively prime, and let n=n1++nln=n_1+\cdots+n_l. Let fλ1,,λl(t,ν)f_{\lambda^1,\dots,\lambda^l}(t,\nu) be the reformulated colored HOMFLY polynomials, and let sλ;q(x)s_{\lambda;q}(\mathbf{x}) denote the symmetric functions defined in the source. For partitions λini\lambda^i\vdash n_i, define gλ1,,λlλ(t)g_{\lambda^1,\dots,\lambda^l}^{\lambda}(t) by the asserted identity. Torus-link structure conjecture. After the specialization t1/2=q1t^{1/2}=q^{-1} and ν1/2=qN\nu^{1/2}=q^{-N},

λ1n1,,λlnlfλ1,,λl(t,ν)sλ1(x1)sλl(xl)=λ1n1,,λlnl(qkqk)2qk(r1)nNλrngλ1,,λlλ(q2k)sλ;qk(qN1,qN3,,q(N1))sλ1;qk(x1)sλl;qk(xl),\begin{aligned} &\sum_{\lambda^1\vdash n_1,\dots,\lambda^l\vdash n_l}f_{\lambda^1,\dots,\lambda^l}(t,\nu)s_{\lambda^1}(\mathbf{x}_1)\cdots s_{\lambda^l}(\mathbf{x}_l)\\ &=\sum_{\lambda^1\vdash n_1,\dots,\lambda^l\vdash n_l}(q^k-q^{-k})^{-2}q^{-k(r-1)nN}\sum_{\lambda\vdash rn}g_{\lambda^1,\dots,\lambda^l}^{\lambda}(q^{2k})\\ &\qquad\cdot s_{\lambda;q^k}(q^{N-1},q^{N-3},\dots,q^{-(N-1)})s_{\lambda^1;q^k}(\mathbf{x}_1)\cdots s_{\lambda^l;q^k}(\mathbf{x}_l), \end{aligned}

where gλ1,,λlλ(t)Z[t±1]g_{\lambda^1,\dots,\lambda^l}^{\lambda}(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t^{\pm1}] is invariant under tt1t\mapsto t^{-1}. This is presented as a new structure suggested by calculations for torus links; the source does not establish it in general.
