The parameterized Volume Conjecture for colored Jones polynomials

About 20 years old · traced to

Let KK be a knot, let JN(K;q)J_N(K;q) be its colored Jones polynomial, let S(u)S(u) be the classical action appearing in the asymptotic expansion, and let OK\mathcal{O}_K be an open subset of C\mathbb{C}.

Parameterized Volume Conjecture. There exists an open subset OK⊂C\mathcal{O}_K\subset\mathbb{C} such that for every u∈OKu\in\mathcal{O}_K,

lim⁡N→∞log⁡JN(K;exp⁡((u+2π−1)/N))N=2πu+2π−1S(u).\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\log J_N\left(K;\exp\left((u+2\pi\sqrt{-1})/N\right)\right)}{N}=\frac{2\pi}{u+2\pi\sqrt{-1}}S(u).

This generalizes the original Volume Conjecture by introducing a parameter on the character variety of the knot complement. The supplied text does not state that the conjecture has been proved in the stated generality.
