  We show that the HOMFLY polynomials for torus knots T[m,n] in all fundamental
representations are equal to the Hall-Littlewood polynomials in representation
which depends on m, and with quantum parameter, which depends on n. This makes
the long-anticipated interpretation of Wilson averages in 3d Chern-Simons
theory as characters precise, at least for the torus knots, and calls for
further studies in this direction. This fact is deeply related to
Hall-Littlewood-MacDonald duality of character expansion of superpolynomials
found in arXiv:1201.3339. In fact, the relation continues to hold for extended
polynomials, but the symmetry between m and n is broken, then m is the number
of strands in the braid. Besides the HOMFLY case with q=t, the torus
superpolynomials are reduced to the single Hall-Littlewood characters in the
two other distinguished cases: q=0 and t=0.
