The double-limit volume conjecture for cusped manifolds

From papers

Let MM be a cusped manifold, and let (Wn,Ln,ρn)(W_n,L_n,\rho_n) be a sequence of compact hyperbolic Dehn fillings of MM converging to MM, with LnL_n the link of short simple geodesics forming the cores of the fillings and ρn\rho_n the holonomy of WnW_n. Let HN(Wn,Ln,ρn)H_N(W_n,L_n,\rho_n) be the corresponding quantum hyperbolic invariant and R(M){\rm R}(M) the complex volume of MM. Then the double-limit volume conjecture. As n,Nn,N\to\infty, the dominant term of the asymptotic expansion of

(HN(Wn,Ln,ρn))N\bigl(H_N(W_n,L_n,\rho_n)\bigr)^N

is

exp(N22iπR(M)),\exp\left(\frac{N^2}{2i\pi}{\rm R}(M)\right),

up to multiplication by integer powers of exp(iπ/12)\exp(i\pi/12). This proposal is obtained from the expected limits R(Wn,ρn)R(M){\rm R}(W_n,\rho_n)\to{\rm R}(M) and, for fixed NN, HN(Wn,Ln,ρn)HN(M)H_N(W_n,L_n,\rho_n)\to H_N(M); the source presents it as a consequence of taking a double limit, without asserting a resolution.
