A Cable Knot and BPS-Series

A series invariant of the complement of a knot was introduced recently. The invariants for several prime knots up to ten crossings have been explicitly computed. We present the first example of a satellite knot, namely, a cable of the figure eight knot, which has more than ten crossings. This cable...

Description
Summary:A series invariant of the complement of a knot was introduced recently. The invariants for several prime knots up to ten crossings have been explicitly computed. We present the first example of a satellite knot, namely, a cable of the figure eight knot, which has more than ten crossings. This cable knot result provides nontrivial evidence for the conjectures for the series invariant and demonstrates the robustness of the integrality of the quantum invariant under the cabling operation. Furthermore, we observe a relation between the series invariant of the cable knot and the series invariant of the figure eight knot. This relation provides an alternative, simple method of finding the former series invariant.
