Non-vanishing conjecture for Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants

Let MM be an integral homology sphere and let τζ(M)\tau _\zeta(M) denote its Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev invariant at a root of unity ζ\zeta . Non-vanishing conjecture. For every root of unity ζ\zeta , one has

τζ(M)0.\tau _\zeta(M)\ne 0.

The source proves non-vanishing for roots whose orders have the form dpedp^e with d{1,2,3,4,6}d\in\{1,2,3,4,6\}, but leaves the assertion for arbitrary roots as a conjecture.
