The -slope conjecture
The -slope conjecture
Let be the invariant, with coefficient expansion . For sufficiently large , write the minimal -degree as a quadratic quasi-polynomial
where , , and are periodic functions. Define the finite set of -slopes by
and let be the collection of boundary slopes of essential surfaces in . -slope conjecture.
This is an analogue for the invariant of Garoufalidis's slope conjecture for the colored Jones function. The source reports verification for the stated finite census, but the general assertion is open.
