The Bonahon-Wong-Yang volume conjecture for the four-puncture sphere
Abstract
We compute the Bonahon-Wong-Yang quantum invariant for self-diffeomorphisms of the four-puncture sphere explicitly, based on the representation theory of the Checkov-Fock algebra. As an application of the computation, we verify the volume conjecture proposed by Bonahon-Wong-Yang for the four puncture sphere bundles with some technical conditions. Together with the one-puncture torus bundles, this is the first family of examples for which the conjecture is verified providing evidence for the conjecture
