Some years ago, it was conjectured on the basis of physical arguments that the colored HOMFLY invariants of knots and links are related to an open or relative version of Gromov-Witten invariants. Through mirror symmetry, these invariants should be also encoded in an algebraic curve through a procedure called "topological recursion". In the case of torus knots, this program can be made quite concrete. In this talk I will try to present the general ideas and expectations and then I will discuss the case of torus knots.
