Experimental evidence for the Volume Conjecture for the simplest hyperbolic non-2-bridge knot

چکیده
The Volume Conjecture loosely states that the limit of the n-th colored Jones polynomial of a hyperbolic knot, evaluated at the primitive complex n-th root of unity is a sequence of complex numbers that grows exponentially. Moreover, the exponential growth rate is proportional to the hyperbolic volume of the knot. We provide an efficient formula for the colored Jones function of the simplest hyperbolic non-2-bridge knot, and using this formula, we provide numerical evidence for the Hyperbolic Volume Conjecture for the simplest hyperbolic non-2-bridge knot.

The Classification of Dehn Surgeries on 2-bridge Knots
We will determine whether a given surgery on a 2-bridge knot is reducible, toroidal, Seifert bered, or hyperbolic. In [Th1] Thurston showed that if K is a hyperbolic knot, then all but nitely many surgeries on K are hyperbolic. In particular, for the Figure 8 knot, it was shown that exactly 9 nontrivial surgeries are non-hyperbolic. Let Kp=q be a 2-bridge knot associated to the rational number ...
متن کاملThe Colored Jones Polynomials and the Simplicial Volume of a Knot
We show that the set of colored Jones polynomials and the set of generalized Alexander polynomials defined by Akutsu, Deguchi and Ohtsuki intersect non-trivially. Moreover it is shown that the intersection is (at least includes) the set of Kashaev’s quantum dilogarithm invariants for links. Therefore Kashaev’s conjecture can be restated as follows: The colored Jones polynomials determine the hy...
متن کاملOn the Volume Conjecture for Hyperbolic Knots
In [1], R.M. Kashaev introduced certain invariants of oriented links motivated by his study of quantum dilogarithm functions. Since the classical dilogarithm functions are related to the hyperbolic volumes, he naturally expected that, for hyperbolic knots, the asymptotic behaviors of his invariants determine their volumes, which is in fact confirmed for a few hyperbolic knots by himself in [2]....
متن کاملCusp Areas of Farey Manifolds and Applications to Knot Theory
This paper gives the first explicit, two-sided estimates on the cusp area of once-punctured-torus bundles, 4-punctured sphere bundles, and two-bridge link complements. The input for these estimates is purely combinatorial data coming from the Farey tessellation of the hyperbolic plane. The bounds on cusp area lead to explicit bounds on the volume of Dehn fillings of these manifolds, for example...
متن کاملA volume-ish theorem for the Jones polynomial of alternating knots
The Volume conjecture claims that the hyperbolic Volume of a knot is determined by the colored Jones polynomial. The purpose of this article is to show a Volume-ish theorem for alternating knots in terms of the Jones polynomial, rather than the colored Jones polynomial: The ratio of the Volume and certain sums of coefficients of the Jones polynomial is bounded from above and from below by const...
