Torus knots and quantum modular forms
Abstract
In this paper we compute a q-hypergeometric expression for the cyclotomic expansion of the colored Jones polynomial for the left-handed torus knot (2,2t+1) and use this to define a family of quantum modular forms which are dual to the generalized Kontsevich-Zagier series.
