The slope conjecture for graph knots

Geometric Topology 2016-07-06 v3

Abstract

The slope conjecture proposed by Garoufalidis asserts that the Jones slopes given by the sequence of degrees of the colored Jones polynomials are boundary slopes. We verify the slope conjecture for graph knots, i.e. knots whose Gromov volume vanish.

Comments

We found a gap in the proof of Lemma 3.1 in the last version (1501.01105v2). This lemma is replaced by Proposition 3.2 in [Kalfagianni and Tran; Knot cabling and the degree of the colored Jones polynomial (1501.01574v1)]. The title of the paper is also changed
