Here the colored Jones polynomial is a generalization of the celebrated Jones polynomial and is defined by using a so-called R-matrix that is associated with the N-dimensional representation of the Lie algebra sl(2;C). The volume conjecture was first stated by R. Kashaev in terms of his own invariant defined by using the quantum dilogarithm. Later H. Murakami and J. Murakami proved that Kashaev’s invariant is nothing but the N-dimensional colored Jones polynomial evaluated at the Nth root of unity. Then the volume conjecture turns out to be a conjecture that relates an algebraic object, the colored Jones polynomial, with a geometric object, the volume. In this book we start with the definition of the colored Jones polynomial by using braid presentations of knots. Then we state the volume conjecture and give a very elementary proof of the conjecture for the figure-eight knot following T. Ekholm. We then give a rough idea of the “proof”, that is, we show why we think the conjecture is true at least in the case of hyperbolic knots by showing how the summation formula for the colored Jones polynomial “looks like” the hyperbolicity equations of the knot complement. We also describe a generalization of the volume conjecture that corresponds to a deformation of the complete hyperbolic structure of a knot complement. This generalization would relate the colored Jones polynomial of a knot to the volume and the Chern–Simons invariant of a certain representation of the fundamental group of the knot complement to the Lie group SL(2;C). We finish by mentioning further generalizations of the volume conjecture.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000845608 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 20, 2018). 000845608 650_0 $$aKnot theory. 000845608 7001_ $$aYokota, Yoshiyuki,$$eauthor. 000845608 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9811311498$$z9789811311499$$w(OCoLC)1037281776 000845608 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in mathematical physics ;$$vv. 30. 000845608 852__ $$bebk 000845608 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-1150-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000845608 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:845608$$pGLOBAL_SET 000845608 980__ $$aEBOOK 000845608 980__ $$aBIB 000845608 982__ $$aEbook 000845608 983__ $$aOnline 000845608 994__ $$a92$$bISE
