Abstract
Link/knot invariants are series with integer coefficients, and it is a long-standing problem to get them positive and possessing cohomological interpretation. Constructing positive "superpolynomials" is not straightforward, especially for colored invariants. A simpler alternative is a multi-parametric generalization of the character expansion, which leads to colored "hyperpolynomials". The third construction involves branes on resolved conifolds, which gives rise to still another family of invariants associated with composite representations. We revisit this triality issue in the simple case of the Hopf link and discover a previously overlooked way to produce positive colored superpolynomials from the DIM-governed four-point functions, thus paving a way to a new relation between super- and hyperpolynomials.
