The identification of the first Bar-Natan–van der Veen polynomial with the reduced 2-loop polynomial

From papers

Let KK be a 0-framed knot, and let ρK1,0\rho_K^{1,0} be its first Bar-Natan–van der Veen polynomial. Let ΘK(t1,t2)\Theta_K(t_1,t_2) be the 2-loop polynomial, and define

Θ^K(t):=ΘK(t,1)Q[t,t1].\widehat{\Theta}_K(t):=\Theta_K(t,1)\in\mathbb{Q}[t,t^{-1}].

Reduced 2-loop identification conjecture.

ρK1,0=Θ^K.\rho_K^{1,0}=\widehat{\Theta}_K.

The source states that the sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2 weight system gives Θ^K=PK1\widehat{\Theta}_K=P_K^1, so this is equivalent to the first-polynomial identification conjecture above. It is therefore recorded as a restatement rather than a separate mathematical claim.
