Abstract

Marino's conjecture remains underexplored within the framework of SO(N)SO(N ) string dualities. In this article, we investigated the reformulated invariants of a one-parameter family of knots [K]p\left[ K\right]_p derived from tangle surgery on Manolescu's quasi-alternating knot diagrams. Within topological string dualities, we have verified Marino's integrality conjecture for these families of knots up to the Young diagram representation R{\bf R}, with R2{|\bf R|}\leq 2. Furthermore, through our analysis, we have conjectured the closed structure of extremal refined BPS integers for the torus knots [31]2p+1 \left[{\bf 3_1}\right]_{2p+1} and [820]2p+1 \left[{\bf 8_{20}}\right]_{2p+1}, pZ0p \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}. As the parameter pp of the knot diagram increases, the total crossing number of a knot exceeds 1616, which we describe as a complex knot. Interestingly, we discovered a maximum number of gaps in the BPS spectra associated with complex knot families. Moreover, our observations indicated that as pp increases, the size of these gaps also expands.
