The eventual monotonicity conjecture for colored Jones growth

About 22 years old · traced to

For a knot KK in S3S^3, define the sequence

an=log⁡∣JK(n)(e2πin)∣n,a_n=\frac{\log\left|J_K(n)\left(e^{\frac{2\pi i}{n}}\right)\right|}{n},

where JK(n)J_K(n) is the colored Jones polynomial. The eventual monotonicity conjecture. For every knot KK in S3S^3, the sequence ana_n is eventually decreasing and bounded above by zero. This conjecture would provide a useful clue toward proving existence of the limit in the Volume Conjecture, but the source gives no resolution.
