Complexification of Kashaev's conjecture

About 5 years old · traced to

Let HH be a hyperbolic knot in S3S^3, and let JN(H;q)J_N(H;q) be its colored Jones polynomial. Let CS⁡(S3∖H)\operatorname{CS}(S^3\setminus H) denote the SO(3)SO(3) Chern--Simons invariant associated with the Levi-Civita connection. Complexification of Kashaev's conjecture.

lim⁡N→∞log⁡JN(H;e2π−1/N)N=V⁡(S3∖H)+−1CS⁡(S3∖H)2π.\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\log J_N\left(H;e^{2\pi\sqrt{-1}/N}\right)}{N}=\frac{\operatorname{V}(S^3\setminus H)+\sqrt{-1}\operatorname{CS}(S^3\setminus H)}{2\pi}.

This drops the absolute value from Kashaev's conjecture and incorporates the Chern--Simons invariant; the source gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
