Gukov's A-polynomial conjecture from colored Jones asymptotics

About 20 years old · traced to

Let KK be a knot in the three-sphere, and let AK(L,M)A_K(L,M) denote its AA-polynomial. For a∈C∖Qa\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\mathbb{Q}, define

l(a):=−dda{alim⁡N→∞log⁡JN(K;exp⁡(2πa−1/N))N}.l(a):=-\frac{d}{da}\left\{a\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\log J_N\left(K;\exp(2\pi a\sqrt{-1}/N)\right)}{N}\right\}.

Gukov's conjecture. The pair

(exp⁡(l(a)),−exp⁡(πa−1))\left(\exp(l(a)),-\exp(\pi a\sqrt{-1})\right)

is a zero of the AA-polynomial of KK. This conjecture proposes that the asymptotic colored Jones polynomial parametrizes points on the AA-polynomial curve, connecting quantum knot invariants with the SL(2,C)SL(2,\mathbb{C}) character variety. The paper records the conjecture as proposed by Gukov; no resolution is supplied in the given text.
