Asymptotic volume–determinant conjecture for knots

Let KK be a knot, let det(K)\det(K) denote its determinant, let Vol(K)\operatorname{Vol}(K) denote its hyperbolic volume, and let cc denote the crossing number. Asymptotic volume–determinant conjecture. There exist constants a,bRa,b\in\mathbb{R} such that the percentage of knots for which

logdet(K)<aVol(K)+b\log\det(K)<a\cdot\operatorname{Vol}(K)+b

converges to 11 as cc\to\infty. The corresponding assertion for every knot is false because twist and pretzel-knot families can have bounded volume and unbounded determinant; the conjecture retains the proposed inequality only in the asymptotic-density sense.
