Rectangular superpolynomials for the figure-eight knot
Abstract
We rewrite the recently proposed differential expansion formula for HOMFLY polynomials of the knot in arbitrary rectangular representation as a sum over all Young sub-diagrams of with extraordinary simple coefficients in front of the -factors. Somewhat miraculously, these coefficients are made from quantum dimensions of symmetric representations of the groups and and restrict summation to diagrams with no more than rows and columns. They possess a natural -deformation to Macdonald dimensions and produces positive Laurent polynomials, which can be considered as plausible candidates for the role of the rectangular superpolynomials. Both polynomiality and positivity are non-evident properties of arising expressions, still they are true. This extends the previous suggestions for symmetric and antisymmetric representations (when or respectively) to arbitrary rectangular representations. As usual for differential expansion, there are additional gradings. In the only example, available for comparison -- that of the trefoil knot , to which our results for are straightforwardly extended, -- one of them reproduces the "fourth grading" for hyperpolynomials. Factorization properties are nicely preserved even in the 5-graded case.
