The natural-hyperbolic-structure conjecture for prime links

Let LL be an nn-component prime link whose complement has only hyperbolic pieces. Let M=(M1,,Mn)\vec M=(M_1,\ldots,M_n) be a coloring, with limiting ratios si=limNMi/(N+12)s_i=\lim_{N\to\infty}M_i/(N+\frac12) satisfying 1δ<si11-\delta<s_i\leq1 for i=1,,ni=1,\ldots,n. Natural-hyperbolic-structure conjecture. There exists δL>0\delta_L>0 such that

limN2πN+12logJM(L;e2πiN+12)=12πVol(S3\L;ui=2πi(1si)).\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{2\pi}{N+\frac12}\log\left|J_{\vec M}\left(L;e^{\frac{2\pi i}{N+\frac12}}\right)\right|=\frac{1}{2\pi}\operatorname{Vol}\left(\mathbb S^3\backslash L;u_i=2\pi i(1-s_i)\right).

Here the volume is the sum of the volumes of the hyperbolic pieces equipped with the natural hyperbolic structures determined by the coloring. This conjecture extends the generalized volume conjecture to prime links whose JSJ decompositions contain several hyperbolic pieces; the source gives no resolution status.
