The simplicial-volume form of Kashaev's conjecture

For any link $L$, let $J_N(L)$ be the colored Jones polynomial evaluated at $\exp\left(2\pi\sqrt{-1}/N\right)$. Let $\Vert L\Vert$ denote the simplicial volume of the complement of $L$, and let $v_3$ be the volume of the ideal regular tetrahedron. The simplicial-volume conjecture. For every link $L$,

$$\Vert L\Vert=\frac{2\pi}{v_3}\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\log|J_N(L)|}{N}.$$

This is presented as an extension of Kashaev's volume conjecture. The formulation is not valid for links in general because $J_N(L)$ vanishes for a split link; for hyperbolic links, simplicial volume is related to hyperbolic volume by multiplication by $v_3$.
