# $6j$-symbols for $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}}_n)$ and colored HOMFLY polynomials

Explicit expression of quantum $6j$-symbolos for $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}_2})$ have been known due to the work of Kirillov and Reshitikhin.

My Question:

How much are known about quantum $6j$-symbolos for $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}_n})$? Are there partial results, say when the highest weights are given by small rank symmetric representation (a few horizontal boxes of Young Tableaux)?

I do not know how one can calculate colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials for non-torus knots without information about quantum $6j$-symbols for $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}_n})$. Physicists guessed the form of HOMFLY-PT polynomials colored by symmetric representation for the figure-eight (See the paper by the ITEP group and the recent paper). However, I want to know more examples for colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials.

Are there explicit formulae of colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of non-torus knots?

is there any way to calculate colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of non-torus knots without using quantum $6j$-symbolos for $U_q({\mathfrak{sl}_n})$?

Recently, there is some progress on quantum $6j$-symbols for $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_N)$: Nawata-Ramadevi-Zodinmawia for symmetric representations, and Gu-Jocker for the representation specified by (2,1) Young diagram. In particular, the later one deals with quantum $6j$-symbols with multiplicity structure.
