Abstract
In this note, we study solutions of the equation for the Jones polynomial of knots and links. For the family of double-twist knots, we show that every root of unity (except ) satisfies for some . Consequently, the set of solutions to arising from this family is dense in the unit circle. We further show that there exists a family of links for which the zeros of are dense in the complex plane, adapting the density mechanism of Jin--Zhang--Dong--Tay for Jones polynomial zeros.
