Root-of-unity rationality conjecture for the unified knot invariant

About 20 years old · traced to

Let KK be a knot and let ζ\zeta be a root of unity of order rr. Let

γζ ⁣:Λ→Z[ζ][[α2,q−ζ]]\gamma _\zeta\colon \Lambda \to \mathbb{Z}[\zeta ][[\alpha ^2,q-\zeta ]]

be induced by Z[q,q−1,α2]⊂Z[ζ][q,q−1,α2]\mathbb{Z}[q,q^{-1},\alpha ^2]\subset\mathbb{Z}[\zeta ][q,q^{-1},\alpha ^2]. Define PK,ζ,k(t)∈Z[ζ][[α2]]P_{K,\zeta,k}(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[\zeta ][[\alpha ^2]] by

γζ(JK)=∑k≥0PK,ζ,k(t)ΔK(tr)2k+1(q−ζ)k.\gamma _\zeta(J_K)=\sum_{k\ge 0}\frac{P_{K,\zeta,k}(t)}{\Delta _K(t^r)^{2k+1}}(q-\zeta )^k.

Root-of-unity rationality conjecture. For every k≥0k\ge 0, one has PK,ζ,k(t)∈Z[ζ][t+t−1]P_{K,\zeta,k}(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[\zeta ][t+t^{-1}]. The source presents this as implied by the preceding cyclotomic rationality conjecture; the case ζ=1\zeta =1 is Rozansky's rationality theorem.
