Colored Jones polynomials without tails

Geometric Topology 2022-12-21 v2 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

We exhibit an infinite family of knots with the property that the first coefficient of the n-colored Jones polynomial grows linearly with n. This shows that the concept of stability and tail seen in the colored Jones polynomials of alternating knots does not generalize naively.
