Kashaev's matrix-valued descendant colored Jones conjecture

Let KK be a knot, let NN be a strictly positive integer, let nn be an integer parameter, and let ζ\zeta be a primitive NN-th root of unity. Write KN,n\langle K\rangle_{N,n} for the R-matrix invariant, and let 1N1_N denote the identity N×NN\times N matrix. Matrix-valued colored Jones conjecture. For all knots KK, strictly positive integers NN and nn, and primitive NN-th roots of unity ζ\zeta,

KN,n=Jn+1K(ζ)1N.\langle K\rangle_{N,n}=J^K_{n+1}(\zeta)1_N.

For n=1n=-1, the source explains that the invariant is already a multiple of the identity and recovers the specialization entering the Volume Conjecture; the conjecture extends this identity to arbitrary nZ/NZn\in\mathbb Z/N\mathbb Z.
