The \mathfrak{sl}_N Symmetrically Large Coloured R Matrix

Publication date 10 December 2022

Abstract: For every knot

K

and lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

, there is a Gukov-Manolescu series denoted

F_{K}^{m a t h f r a k g}

which serves as an analytic continuation of the quantum knot invariants associated to finite dimensional irreducible representations of

m a t h f r a k g

. There has been a great deal of work done on computing this invariant for

m a t h f r a k g = m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}

but comparatively less work has studied other lie algebras. In this paper we extend the large colour

R

matrix from

m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}

to symmetrically coloured

m a t h f r a k {s l}_{N}

. This gives a definition for

F_{K}^{m a t h f r a k {s l}_{N}, s y m}

for positive braid knots and allows for predictions of

F_{K}^{m a t h f r a k {s l}_{N}, s y m}

for a much larger class of knots and links. It also provides further evidence towards a conjectural HOMFLY-PT analouge of

F_{K}

.
