Abstract

In this article, we investigate the BPS invariants associated with framed links. We extend the relationship between the algebraic curve (i.e. dual AA-polynomial) and the BPS invariants of a knot investigated in \cite{GKS} to the case of a framed knot. With the help of the framing change formula for the dual AA-polynomial of a framed knot, we give several explicit formulas for the extremal AA-polynomials and the BPS invariants of framed knots. As to the framed links, we present several numerical calculations for the Ooguri-Vafa invariants and BPS invariants for framed Whitehead links and Borromean rings and verify the integrality property for them.
