The so(3) volume conjecture for knots and links
The so(3) volume conjecture for knots and links
Let be a knot or link. For a split link with split components, normalize the colored Jones invariant by dividing by the unnormalized invariant of the -fold unlink; denote the resulting invariant by . Let denote the simplicial volume of the link complement. In the limit below, ranges over the odd positive integers.
so(3) volume conjecture. For all knots and links ,
The odd-color modification is motivated by failures for split links and Whitehead chains; the source says that this conjecture still stands a chance to hold for all knots and links, but supplies no resolution.
