Improved integrality of Donaldson–Thomas invariants of loop quivers (GKS Conjecture 1.3 for twist knots)
The sharp valuation bounds and optimal γ(m) are proved for ALL loop quivers m≥2, hence for the extremal BPS invariants of all twist knots (both rows, matching every twist-knot entry of GKS Table 1). Scope limits: the m=3/figure-eight divisibility 2nr/r∈Z was previously proved by Basor–Conrey–Morrison (arXiv:1703.00990), whose per-r 2-adic characterization for m=3 is finer than the uniform bound; the torus-knot case of GKS Conj. 1.3 (multi-vertex quivers, γ growing with the knot) remains open and is not claimed; the general-knot conjecture remains open. The Lean formalization covers the reduction to the classical Kazandzidis congruences, not those congruences themselves.
