Identify a DT/stability interpretation for the skein‑valued pentagon identity
Identify or develop a categorical or Donaldson–Thomas/stability‑conditions interpretation for the skein‑valued pentagon identity in the HOMFLYPT skein (e.g., on the punctured torus) analogous to the known derivations of the quantum pentagon identity via wall‑crossing in stability spaces and DT invariants.
References
The pentagon identity has a celebrated derivation via a wall crossing in the space of stability conditions for the $A_2$ quiver, later reintepreted in terms of the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of an appropriate CY3 category. We do not know a similar interpretation of the skein-valued pentagon identity.
