Interplay between symmetries of quantum 6j-symbols and the eigenvalue hypothesis

The eigenvalue hypothesis claims that any quantum Racah matrix for finite-dimensional representations of Uq(slN)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$U_q(sl_N)$$\end{document} is uniquely determined by eigenvalues of the corresponding quantum R\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\mathcal {R}$$\end{document}-matrices. If this hypothesis turns out to be true, then it will significantly simplify the computation of Racah matrices. Also, due to this hypothesis various interesting properties of colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials will be proved. In addition, it allows one to discover new symmetries of the quantum 6j-symbols, about which almost nothing is known for N>2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$N>2$$\end{document}, with the exception of the tetrahedral symmetries, complex conjugation and transformation q⟷q-1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$q \longleftrightarrow q^{-1}$$\end{document}. In this paper, we prove the eigenvalue hypothesis in Uq(sl2)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$U_q(sl_2)$$\end{document} case and show that it is equivalent to 6j-symbol symmetries (the Regge symmetry and two argument permutations). Then, we apply the eigenvalue hypothesis to inclusive Racah matrices with 3 symmetric incoming representations of Uq(slN)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$U_q(sl_N)$$\end{document} and an arbitrary outcoming one. It gives us 8 new additional symmetries that are not tetrahedral ones. Finally, we apply the eigenvalue hypothesis to exclusive Racah matrices with symmetric representations and obtain 4 tetrahedral symmetries.
