  • On the volume conjecture of the colored Jones invariants with arbitrary colors

    Shinichiro Kakuta

    arXiv:2604.10472    2026.04

     View Summary

    We study the volume conjecture of the colored Jones invariants with sequences of colors corresponding to the deformation of the hyperbolic structure of a link complement. In particular, we investigate certain limits of the colored Jones invariants of the figure-eight knot and the Borromean rings and show that the limits are related to the volumes of hyperbolic cone manifolds whose singular sets are the links.
