The volume conjecture for proper polyhedra

Let PP be a proper polyhedron with dihedral angles α1,,αm\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_m at edges e1,,eme_1,\dots,e_m, and let Γ\Gamma be its 11-skeleton. Let colrcol_r be a sequence of rr-admissible colorings of these edges such that

2πlimr+colr(ei)r=παi.2\pi\lim_{r\rightarrow+\infty}\frac{col_r(e_i)}{r}=\pi-\alpha_i.

The volume conjecture for polyhedra. Then

limr+πrlogYr(S3,Γ,colr,e2πi/r)=Vol(P).\lim_{r\rightarrow+\infty}\frac{\pi}{r}\log\left\lvert Y_r(S^3,\Gamma,col_r,e^{2\pi i/r})\right\rvert=\operatorname{Vol}(P).

This is the version attributed in the paper to earlier work and is the quantum-geometric input used to relate volume to dihedral angles. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
