The Borel-resummed invariant conjecture for colored Jones asymptotics

Let KK be a knot, let Jn(q)J_n(q) be its nn-colored Jones polynomial, and let FK(x,q)F_K(x,q) be the two-variable invariant defined by Borel resummation of the colored Jones expansion. For a root of unity ζ\zeta, write q=ζeq=\zeta e^{\hbar}. The Borel-resummed invariant conjecture. For every color nn, the asymptotic expansions of (qn/2qn/2)Jn(q)(q^{n/2}-q^{-n/2})J_n(q) and FK(qn,q)F_K(q^n,q) near every root of unity agree; equivalently,

(ζn/2en/2ζn/2en/2)Jn(ζe)=perturbativelyFK(ζnen,ζe).(\zeta^{n/2}e^{n\hbar/2}-\zeta^{-n/2}e^{-n\hbar/2})J_n(\zeta e^{\hbar})\stackrel{\mathrm{perturbatively}}{=}F_K(\zeta^n e^{n\hbar},\zeta e^{\hbar}).

This proposes that FK(x,q)F_K(x,q) contains the asymptotic information of colored Jones polynomials at every root of unity. The source notes that this is compatible with the volume conjecture because the relevant limits are of different types: the limit defining FKF_K is radial, whereas the volume-conjecture limit lies on the unit circle.
