In this paper, we show that for the figure-eight knot the series converges in some cases and the limit equals the inverse of its Alexander polynomial.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-02-20T14:53:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M27", "57M25" ], "keywords": [ "colored jones polynomials", "alexander polynomial", "figure-eight knot", "volume conjecture", "limit equals" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......2428M" } } }
