Abstract

For every knot KK and lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}, there is a Gukov-Manolescu series denoted FKgF^{\mathfrak{g}}_K which serves as an analytic continuation of the quantum knot invariants associated to finite dimensional irreducible representations of g\mathfrak{g}. There has been a great deal of work done on computing this invariant for g=sl2\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{sl}_2 but comparatively less work has studied other lie algebras. In this paper we extend the large colour RR matrix from sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2 to symmetrically coloured slN\mathfrak{sl}_N. This gives a definition for FKslN,symF^{\mathfrak{sl}_N, sym}_K for positive braid knots and allows for predictions of FKslN,symF^{\mathfrak{sl}_N, sym}_K for a much larger class of knots and links. It also provides further evidence towards a conjectural HOMFLY-PT analouge of FKF_K.
