We introduce an infinite family of links called Whitehead chains that generalizes both the Whitehead link and the Borromean rings. For this family we prove the complexified volume conjecture taking into account subleading terms in the asymptotic expansion. The proof is based on techniques introduced in [10].

A technique to calculate the colored Jones polynomials of satellite knots, illustrated by the Whitehead doubles of knots, is presented. Then we prove the volume conjecture for Whitehead doubles of a family of torus knots and show some interesting observations.

This paper contributes to a growing body of philosophical and psychological work that draws parallels between the writings of William James and Alfred North Whitehead James and Whitehead: Assemblage and Systematization of a Deeply Empiricist Mosaic Philosophy

The aim of this contribution was to review the species of Ctenocolum which are mainly distributed in the Neotropical region. The larvae of this genus have a high degree of specificity with the tribe Millettieae feeding mainly on seeds of Lonchocarpus Kunth (Fabaceae, Papilionoideae) and until now we do not know other bruchine consuming seeds of this genus. Here 13 valid species were studied, fi...
