Abstract: We prove that the HOMFLYPT polynomial of a link, colored by partitions with a fixed number of rows is a q-holonomic function. Specializing to the case of knots colored by a partition with a single row, it proves the existence of an (a,q) super-polynomial of knots in 3-space, as was conjectured by string theorists. Our proof uses skew Howe duality that reduces the evaluation of web diagrams and their ladders to a Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt computation of an auxiliary quantum group of rank the number of strings of the ladder diagram.
