Torus-link reformulated colored HOMFLY polynomial structure conjecture

About 20 years old · traced to

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 λi⊢ni\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=q−1t^{1/2}=q^{-1} and ν1/2=q−N\nu^{1/2}=q^{-N},

∑λ1⊢n1,…,λl⊢nlfλ1,…,λl(t,ν)sλ1(x1)⋯sλl(xl)=∑λ1⊢n1,…,λl⊢nl(qk−q−k)−2q−k(r−1)nN∑λ⊢rngλ1,…,λlλ(q2k)⋅sλ;qk(qN−1,qN−3,…,q−(N−1))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 t↦t−1t\mapsto t^{-1}. This is presented as a new structure suggested by calculations for torus links; the source does not establish it in general.
