The asymptotic colored-Jones formula with twisted Reidemeister torsion

Let KK be a hyperbolic knot, let u0u\ne0 be small, and let S(u)S(u) be the asymptotic function defined by

S(u):=(2π1+u)limNlogJN(K;exp((2π1+u)/N))N.S(u):=(2\pi\sqrt{-1}+u)\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\log J_N\bigl(K;\exp((2\pi\sqrt{-1}+u)/N)\bigr)}{N}.

Let TμK(u)\mathbb{T}^{K}_{\mu}(u) be the twisted Reidemeister torsion of the representation parametrized by uu associated with the meridian μ\mu. Twisted Reidemeister torsion conjecture. For small u0u\ne0,

JN(K;exp((2π1+u)/N))=π2sinh(u/2)TμK(u)1/2(N2π1+u)1/2exp[S(u)N2π1+u].J_N\Bigl(K;\exp\bigl((2\pi\sqrt{-1}+u)/N\bigr)\Bigr)=\frac{\sqrt{-\pi}}{2\sinh(u/2)}\mathbb{T}^{K}_{\mu}(u)^{-1/2}\left(\frac{N}{2\pi\sqrt{-1}+u}\right)^{1/2}\exp\left[\frac{S(u)N}{2\pi\sqrt{-1}+u}\right].

This proposes a precise leading asymptotic involving the exponential term determined by S(u)S(u) and a prefactor given by twisted Reidemeister torsion. The source does not state a resolution beyond the surrounding conjectural discussion.
