    The authors provide a formula for the Turaev-Viro invariants \(\mathrm{TV}_r(S^3\setminus L,q)\) of a link \(L\) complement in terms of values of the colored Jones polynomials \(J_{L,m}(t)\) of \(L\). Then, they prove the following theorem (Theorem 1.6 in this paper). Theorem. Let \(L\) be either the figure-eight knot or the Borromean rings, and let \(M\) be the complement of \(L\) in \(S^3\). Then \[ \lim_{r\to +\infty} \frac{2\pi}{r}\log \mathrm{TV}_r(M,e^{\frac{2\pi i}{r}}) = \lim_{m\to+\infty} \frac{4\pi}{2m+1}\log|J_{L,m}(e^{\frac{4\pi i}{2m+1}})| = \text{Vol}(M), \] where \(r=2m+1\) runs over all odd integers. We denote by \(||K||\) the simplicial volume of a knot \(K\). Using the formula that the authors provide, they also prove the following theorem (Theorem 1.8 in this paper). Theorem. Let \(K\subset S^3\) be a knot with simplicial volume zero. Then \[ \lim_{r\to \infty}\frac{2\pi}{r} \log\mathrm{TV}_r(S^3\setminus K,e^{\frac{2\pi i}{r}}) = ||K||=0, \] where \(r\) runs over all odd integers.
