The geometric volume conjecture for SO(3)-knot states

Let KK be a knot in S3S^3. The geometric quantized space for the SO(3)SO(3)-Witten–Chern–Simons theory of the torus is the alternating subspace

Hr+12alt(j,δ)\mathcal{H}^{alt}_{r+\frac{1}{2}}(j,\delta)

of holomorphic sections of LrL12δL^r\otimes L^{\frac{1}{2}}\otimes\delta over the SU(2)SU(2)-character variety of the torus. Let Zr(S3\K)Hr+12alt(j,δ)Z'_r(S^3\backslash K)\in\mathcal{H}^{alt}_{r+\frac{1}{2}}(j,\delta) be the rr-th SO(3)SO(3)-knot state, and let vol(S3\K)\operatorname{vol}(S^3\backslash K) be the simplicial volume of its complement. The geometric volume conjecture.

limr+πrlogZr(S3\K)r+122=vol(S3\K).\lim_{r\rightarrow+\infty}\frac{\pi}{r}\log\left\|Z'_r(S^3\backslash K)\right\|^2_{r+\frac{1}{2}}=\operatorname{vol}(S^3\backslash K).

This is presented as a geometric version of the volume conjecture, interpreting the left-hand side as a form of quantum complexity. Its resolution is not given in the source.
