The diagonal determination conjecture for Bar-Natan–van der Veen polynomials

Let KK be a 0-framed knot, and let ρKi,i\rho_K^{i,i}, i>0i>0, denote the diagonal family of Bar-Natan–van der Veen polynomials. Let ΔK\Delta_K be the Alexander polynomial of KK.

Diagonal determination conjecture. The family of polynomials ρKi,i\rho_K^{i,i}, i>0i>0, is completely determined by the Alexander polynomial of KK.

The cases ρK1,1\rho_K^{1,1} and ρK2,2\rho_K^{2,2} are shown in the paper to depend only on the Alexander polynomial; the conjecture proposes the same for every diagonal term.
