Abstract
We provide the first computations of colored unknots and Hopf link in using both the topological vertex and its refinement. Our approach utilizes the toric Calabi-Yau threefold arising from the geometric transition of the cotangent bundle of under the large duality. We find that the link invariants are series in the Kahler parameters of the toric Calabi-Yau manifold and the -expansions of the rational functions of the series have positivity property. We conjecture that they are Poincare series of an infinite dimensional link homology theory for links in . We compare our results with that of the and speculate the consequences of the series nature of the invariants.
