Garoufalidis–Yoon twisted 1-loop conjecture

Let MM be a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold, let T\mathcal{T} be an ideal triangulation, and choose an epimorphism α:π1(M)Z\alpha:\pi_1(M)\twoheadrightarrow\mathbb{Z}, equivalently an infinite cyclic cover, to define the twisted gluing data. Let τCS(T,t)\tau^\mathrm{CS}(\mathcal{T},t) denote the twisted 1-loop invariant and let τ(M,t)\tau(M,t) denote the adjoint twisted Alexander polynomial associated with the geometric representation and α\alpha. Both are Laurent polynomials in tt over the trace field, well-defined up to multiplication by units in Z[t±1]\mathbb{Z}[t^{\pm1}]. Garoufalidis–Yoon's twisted 1-loop conjecture.

τCS(T,t)=τ(M,t).\tau^\mathrm{CS}(\mathcal{T},t)=\tau(M,t).

This conjecture relates twisted gluing-equation data to the adjoint twisted Alexander polynomial. The paper proves it for all hyperbolic once-punctured torus bundles, so the unrestricted statement is not resolved by the supplied text.
