Character-variety conjecture for the complexified cord ring
Character-variety conjecture for the complexified cord ring
Let be a knot, let be its double branched cover, and let denote the abelianized degree-zero contact homology, identified with the cord ring. Consider the map from the complexified cord ring to the coordinate ring of the character variety of constructed in Proposition [the source's Proposition~]. Character-variety conjecture. This map is always an isomorphism, so that is precisely the coordinate ring of the character variety of . The claim is known for two-bridge knots in the discussion immediately preceding it; the general case is proposed on the basis of computations with small knots.
