2 Ingredient 1: Knots Colored HOMFLY PT polynomials: Symmetric (S r )-colored HOMFLY PT polynomials are 2-variable invariants of knots: P r (K)(a, q). For a = q N they are (sl(n), S r ) quantum polynomial invariants: P(a = q N, q) = P sl(n),sr (q).
3 Ingredient 1: Knots Colored HOMFLY PT polynomials: Symmetric (S r )-colored HOMFLY PT polynomials are 2-variable invariants of knots: P r (K)(a, q). For a = q N they are (sl(n), S r ) quantum polynomial invariants: P(a = q N, q) = P sl(n),sr (q). Already interesting is the bottom row : the coefficient of the lowest nonzero power of a appearing in P r (a, q) P r (q) = lim a 0 a P r (a, q)
4 LMOV conjecture Generating function of all symmetric-colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of a given knot K is: P(x, a, q) := P r (a, q)x r = exp 1 n f r (a n, q n )x rn, r 0 n,r 1 f r (a, q) = i,j N r,i,j a i q j q q 1.

6 LMOV conjecture Generating function of all symmetric-colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of a given knot K is: P(x, a, q) := P r (a, q)x r = exp 1 n f r (a n, q n )x rn, r 0 n,r 1 f r (a, q) = i,j N r,i,j a i q j q q 1. One can easily get: N r,i,j Q LMOV conjecture: N r,i,j Z!
7 LMOV conjecture Generating function of all symmetric-colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of a given knot K is: P(x, a, q) := P r (a, q)x r = exp 1 n f r (a n, q n )x rn, r 0 n,r 1 f r (a, q) = i,j N r,i,j a i q j q q 1. One can easily get: N r,i,j Q LMOV conjecture: N r,i,j Z! N r,i,j are BPS numbers. They represent (super)-dimensions of certain homological groups. Physicaly, they count particles of certain type (therefore are integers).
8 Ingredient 2: Quivers (and their representations) Quivers are oriented graphs, possibly with loops and multiple edges. Q 0 = {1,..., m} set of vertices. Q 1 the set of edges {α : i j}.

Let d = (d 1,..., d m ) N m be a dimension vector. We are interested in moduli space of representations of Q with the dimension vector d: } M d = {R(α) : C d i C d j for all α : i j Q 1 //G, where G = i GL(d i, C).

22 Counting (rational) lattice paths [M. Panfil, P. Sulkowski, M.S., 2018] Proposition Let r and s be mutually prime. Let K = Tr,s f = rs be the (rs)-framed (r, s)-torus knot. Then the corresponding coefficients a n are equal to the number of directed lattice path from (0, 0) to (sn, rn) under the line y = (r/s)x.
23 Knots and quivers results This relationship naturally suggests a particular refinement of the numbers a n.
24 Knots and quivers results This relationship naturally suggests a particular refinement of the numbers a n. For example, for 2/3 slope, after computing the relevant invariants (for the bottom row) of the T 2,3 knot, and applying all the machinery, we get that the matrix of a quiver corresponding to the knot is: [ ].

30 Counting of weighted lattice paths Proposition The generating function y qp (x) of lattice paths under the line of the slope r/s, weighted by the area between this line and a given path, is equal to y qp (x) = k=0 π k-paths q area(π) x k = P C (q 2 x 1,..., q 2 x m ) P C (x 1,..., x m ) xi =xq 1. For the line of the slope r/s, the quiver in question is defined by the matrix C that encodes extremal invariants of left-handed (r, s) torus knot in framing rs.

35 Expression for the coefficient A(l 1,..., l m ) C is an m m matrix. Definition Let k {1,..., m}. For a set of k pairs {(i 1, j 1 ),..., (i k, j k )}, with 1 i u, j u m, we say that it is admissible, if it satisfies the following two conditions: (1) there are no two equal among j 1,..., j k (2) there is no cycle of any length: for any l, 1 l k, there is no subset of l pairs (i ul, j ul ), l = 1,..., l, such that j ul = i ul+1, l = 1,..., l 1, and j ul = i u1.
36 Alternative, recursive definition We observe the set of polynomials in m variables p(c)(x 1,..., x m ), whose coefficients depend are functions of the entries of matrix C. Define actions of the symmetric group S m on m m matrices by: [σ C] i,j := C σi,σ j, i, j = 1,..., m, and on polynomials p(c)(x 1,..., x m ) by σ p(c)(x 1,..., x m ) := p(σ C)(x σ1,..., x σm ).
37 Alternative, recursive definition Then, for a given m m matrix C we define the polynomial P m (C)(x 1,..., x m ) by the following: σ P m (C)(x 1,..., x m ) = P m (C)(x 1,..., x m ), σ S m P 1 (C)(x) = 1, ( P m (C)(x 1,..., x m 1, 0) = P m 1 (C )(x 1,..., x m 1 ) 1 + m 1 where C denotes the submatrix of C formed by its first m 1 rows and columns. i=1 C i,m x i ).
38 Alternative, recursive definition Then, for a given m m matrix C we define the polynomial P m (C)(x 1,..., x m ) by the following: σ P m (C)(x 1,..., x m ) = P m (C)(x 1,..., x m ), σ S m P 1 (C)(x) = 1, ( P m (C)(x 1,..., x m 1, 0) = P m 1 (C )(x 1,..., x m 1 ) 1 + m 1 where C denotes the submatrix of C formed by its first m 1 rows and columns. Then: A(l 1,..., l m ) = P m (C)(l 1,..., l m ). i=1 C i,m x i ).

57 Rational knots: Knots-quivers corresponds works! Theorem Let K be a rational knot and let Q K be the corresponding quiver. Then, the vertices of Q K are in bijection with generators of the reduced HOMFLY-PT homology of K, such that the (a, q, t)-trigrading of the i th generator is given by (a i, Q i,i q i, Q i,i ) where Q i,i denotes the number of loops at the i th vertex of Q K.
58 Open questions work in progress Find quivers for other larger classes of knots How to find a quiver for a given knot directly (geometrically, topologically...)? Other, better definition? The (non)uniqueness of a quiver. More proofs... Closed formulas for q-version of paths. Further integralities and combinatorial identities, Rogers-Ramanujan identities,... Links and quivers... Extend to all representations, not necessarily symmetric. What is so special for quivers that correspond to knots? Combinatorial identities for binomial coefficients, and extended integrality/divisibility hold precisely for them.
