The Volume Conjecture for quantum hyperbolic invariants

Let (W,L,ρ)(W,L,\rho) be a triple consisting of a 33-manifold, a link, and the relevant representation, with associated quantum hyperbolic invariant KN(W,L,ρ)K_N(W,L,\rho), refined I{\mathcal I}-class c^I(W,L,ρ)\hat{\mathfrak{c}}_{\mathcal I}(W,L,\rho), and dilogarithmic invariant

R(W,L,ρ):=R(c^I(W,L,ρ))mod((π2/2)Z).R(W,L,\rho):=R(\hat{\mathfrak{c}}_{\mathcal I}(W,L,\rho))\quad \operatorname{mod}\left((\pi^2/2)\mathbb{Z}\right).

Real Volume Conjecture. For any (W,L,ρ)(W,L,\rho),

limN2πN2log(KN(W,L,ρ))=ImR(c^I(W,L,ρ)).\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{2\pi}{N^2}\log\left(\left|K_N(W,L,\rho)\right|\right)=\operatorname{Im}R(\hat{\mathfrak{c}}_{\mathcal I}(W,L,\rho)).

The conjecture is formally compatible with the Volume Conjecture for hyperbolic knots in S3S^3, although the source notes that the relationship between KNK_N and the coloured Jones polynomial has not been established and requires further investigation.
