We propose Asymptotic Expansion Conjectures of the relative Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants, of the relative Turaev-Viro invariants and of the discrete Fourier transforms of the quantum 6j-symbols, and prove them for families of special cases. The significance of these expansions is that we do not specify the way that the sequence of the colorings converges to the limit. As a consequence, the terms in the expansion will have to depend on the index r, but the dependence is in a way that the terms are purely geometric invariants of the metrics on the underlying manifold and only the metrics vary with r.
We prove the Volume Conjecture for the relative Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants proposed in [29] for all pairs (M, K) such that M K is homeomorphic to the complement of the figure-8 knot in S 3 with almost all possible cone angles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
