چکیده

Abstract. We establish the volume conjecture for (m, 2)-cables of the figure 8 knot, when m is odd. For (m, 2)-cables of general knots where m is even, we show that the limit in the volume conjecture depends on the parity of the color (of the Kashaev invariant). There are many cases when the volume conjecture for cables of the figure 8 knot is false if one considers all the colors, but holds true if one restricts the colors to a subset of the set of positive integers.

Knot Cabling and the Degree of the Colored Jones Polynomial

We study the behavior of the degree of the colored Jones polynomial and the boundary slopes of knots under the operation of cabling. We show that, under certain hypothesis on this degree, if a knot K satisfies the Slope Conjecture then a (p, q)-cable of K satisfies the conjecture, provided that p/q is not a Jones slope of K. As an application we prove the Slope Conjecture for iterated cables of...

On the AJ conjecture for cables of the figure eight knot

The AJ conjecture relates the A-polynomial and the colored Jones polynomial of a knot in the 3-sphere. It has been verified for some classes of knots, including all torus knots, most double twist knots, (−2, 3, 6n ± 1)-pretzel knots, and most cabled knots over torus knots. In this paper we study the AJ conjecture for (r, 2)-cables of a knot, where r is an odd integer. In particular, we show tha...
