Title: Some progress on the volume conjecture for
the Turaev-Viro invariants
Abstract
In 2015, Qingtao Chen and I conjectured that at
the root of unity exp(2πi/r)
instead of the usually considered root
exp(πi/r), the Turaev-Viro and the Reshetikhin-Turaev
invariants
of a hyperbolic
3-manifold grow exponentially with
growth rates respectively the hyperbolic and the complex volume of the
manifold.
In this talk, I will present a recent joint work with Giulio
Belletti, Renaud
Detcherry and Effie Kalfagianni on an infinite family of cusped
hyperbolic 3-
manifolds, the fundamental shadow links complement, for which the
conjecture
is true.
