Toroidal simplicial-volume conjecture for irreducible link complements

About 6 years old · traced to

Let L⊂T2×IL\subset T^2\times I be a link whose complement (T2×I)∖L(T^2\times I)\setminus L is irreducible, and let JnT(L;e2πi/n)J_n^T(L;e^{2\pi i/n}) be the toroidal colored Jones polynomial evaluated at e2πi/ne^{2\pi i/n}. Here Vol⁡\operatorname{Vol} denotes simplicial volume, and n>0n>0 ranges over all odd integers.

Toroidal simplicial-volume conjecture.

lim⁡n→∞2πnlog⁡∣JnT(L;e2πi/n)∣=Vol⁡((T2×I)∖L).\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{2\pi}{n}\log\left|J_n^T\left(L;e^{2\pi i/n}\right)\right|=\operatorname{Vol}\bigl((T^2\times I)\setminus L\bigr).

This extends the hyperbolic-complement conjecture to irreducible complements by using simplicial volume, which sums the hyperbolic volumes of the hyperbolic JSJ pieces. Its general validity is left open.
