Abstract:

Based on the orthogonal Labastida-Mariño-Ooguri-Vafa conjecture made by L. Chen and Q. Chen (2012), we derive an infinite product formula for Chern-Simons partition functions, which generalizes Liu and Peng’s recent results to the orthogonal case. Symmetry property of this new infinite product structure is also discussed.
