The Jones polynomial at specific values of $t$

The volume conjecture predicts the existence limit of (a certain normalization of) the colored Jones polynomials evaluated at roots of unity (which is not known to exist), and that this limit is equal …

S-matrix for the HOMFLY/Hecke category

This isn't a complete answer, but it might make some partial progress. First I'll slightly restate the question. If we decompose $S^3$ into two solid tori and write $C$ and $C^{op}$ for the Homfly ske …

Closed formula for colored Jones polynomial of the trefoil? (reference request)

(EDIT: Powers of $q$ in the formula corrected.) I've been doing some computations with skein modules, and I found the following formula for the N-th colored Jones polynomial of the trefoil: $\frac{1 …

Proving that the Jones polynomial is q-holonomic

One statement that would imply that the colored Jones polynomials are q-holonomic involves the Kauffman bracket skein module $S_q(K)$ of the knot complement. This is a module over the skein module of …

Does the limit in the Volume conjecture converge?

The Volume conjecture says that if $J_n(q)$ are the colored Jones polynomials of a knot $K \subset S^3$, then $$\lim_{N \to \infty} \frac{ 2 \pi}N \left\vert J_N(e^{2\pi i / N})\right\vert = vol(K)$$ …
