Quantum invariant detection conjecture for the A-ideal

Let KK be a knot in S3S^3 whose complement has sufficiently regular SU(2)SU(2)-representation variety. Let T2T^2 be the boundary torus of the knot complement, let MM be the 33-manifold obtained by doubling the knot complement, let fK1(T2)f\in K_{-1}(T^2) be a peripheral skein, and let Zr(M,f)Z_r(M,f) denote the Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev invariant of MM at level rr. The quantity

lim supr1rZr(M,f)\limsup_{r\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{r}\lvert Z_r(M,f)\rvert

defines a seminorm on K1(T)K_{-1}(T) whose radical is the AA-ideal of KK.

Quantum invariant detection conjecture. Under these hypotheses, lim supr1rZr(M,f)\limsup_{r\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{r}\lvert Z_r(M,f)\rvert defines a seminorm on K1(T)K_{-1}(T), and its radical is the AA-ideal of the knot.

This conjecture proposes that asymptotic Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants of the double of a knot complement detect the AA-ideal. The source presents it as motivated by the preceding analysis and gives no resolution evidence.
