The qq/tq\to -q/t symmetry conjecture for one-component links

Let β\beta be a braid whose closure L(β)L(\beta) has one connected component, written π0(L(β))=1\pi_0(L(\beta))=1. Let HHmm(β)\mathrm{HH}_{m|m}(\beta) denote the corresponding homology, graded by variables Q\mathbf{Q} and T\mathbf{T}. The qq/tq\to -q/t symmetry conjecture. One has

HHmm(β)=HHmm(β)QT/Q.\mathrm{HH}_{m|m}(\beta)=\left.\mathrm{HH}_{m|m}(\beta)\right|_{\mathbf{Q}\to \mathbf{T}/\mathbf{Q}}.

This is presented as the analogue of the symmetry proved for HOMFLYPT homology in earlier work. The authors expect that the same method will prove it, but the conjecture remains unresolved in the source.
