Integrality of the LMOV invariants for framed unknot
Abstract
The Labastida-Marin\~o-Ooguri-Vafa (LMOV) invariants are the open string BPS invariants which are expected to be integers based on the string duality conjecture from M-theory. Several explicit formulae of LMOV invariants for framed unknot have been obtained in the literature. In this paper, we present a unified method to deal with the integrality of such explicit formulae. Furthermore, we also prove the integrality of certain LMOV invariants for framed unknot in higher genera.
