BPS Spectra of complex knots
Abstract
Marino's conjecture remains underexplored within the framework of string dualities. In this article, we investigated the reformulated invariants of a one-parameter family of knots 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 , with . Furthermore, through our analysis, we have conjectured the closed structure of extremal refined BPS integers for the torus knots and , . As the parameter of the knot diagram increases, the total crossing number of a knot exceeds , 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 increases, the size of these gaps also expands.
