The quantum volume conjecture for knots

Let KS3K\subset S^3 be a knot, and let AK(m,)=0A_K(m,\ell)=0 be its AA-polynomial curve. Put (m,)=(eu,ev)(m,\ell)=(e^u,e^v), and let S0(u)S_0(u) be defined by the wave-function equations in the source. The coloured Jones polynomial has the asymptotic expansion described in the source. Kashaev–Murakami–Murakami–Gukov volume conjecture. For the curve defined by AK(m,)=0A_K(m,\ell)=0, one has

S0(u)=volume of the incomplete hyperbolic manifold S3K.S_0(u)=\text{volume of the incomplete hyperbolic manifold }S^3-K.

This is a quantum-curve formulation of the volume conjecture relating the asymptotics of the coloured Jones polynomial to hyperbolic volume. The source attributes it to Kashaev, Murakami–Murakami, and Gukov, but gives no resolution status.
