Factorization of differential expansion for non-rectangular representations

Abstract

Factorization of the differential expansion coefficients for HOMFLY-PT polynomials of double braids, discovered in arXiv:1606.06015 in the case of rectangular representations $R$, is extended to the first non-rectangular representations $R=[2,1]$ and $R=[3,1]$. This increases chances that such factorization will take place for generic $R$, thus fixing the shape of the DE. We illustrate the power of the method by conjecturing the DE-induced expression for double-braid polynomials for all $R=[r,1]$. In variance with rectangular case, the knowledge for double braids is not fully sufficient to deduce the exclusive Racah matrix $\bar S$ -- the entries in the sectors with non-trivial multiplicities sum up and remain unseparated. Still a considerable piece of the matrix is extracted directly and its other elements can be found by solving the unitarity constraints.
