The Vol-Det conjecture for alternating hyperbolic links

About 8 years old · traced to

Let KK be an alternating hyperbolic link in S3S^3. Its hyperbolic volume is denoted by vol⁡(K)=vol⁡(S3∖K)\operatorname{vol}(K)=\operatorname{vol}(S^3\setminus K), and its determinant by det⁡(K)\det(K). Vol-Det conjecture.

vol⁡(K)<2πlog⁡det⁡(K).\operatorname{vol}(K)<2\pi\log\det(K).

This conjecture relates two fundamental link invariants, hyperbolic volume and determinant, and was formulated by Champanerkar, Kofman, and Purcell. The supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
