Abstract: In this paper we prove that the family of colored Jones polynomials of a knot in $S^3$ determines the family of ADO polynomials of this knot. More precisely, we construct a two variables knot invariant unifying both the ADO and the colored Jones polynomials. On one hand, the first variable $q$ can be evaluated at $2r$ roots of unity with $rinBbb{N}^{\ast }$ and we obtain the ADO polynomial over the Alexander polynomial. On the other hand, the second variable $A$ evaluated at $A=q^n$ gives the colored Jones polynomials. From this, we exhibit a map sending, for any knot, the family of colored Jones polynomials to the family of ADO polynomials. As a direct application of this fact, we will prove that every ADO polynomial is q-holonomic and is annihilated by the same polynomials as of the colored Jones function. The construction of the unified invariant will use completions of rings and algebra. We will also show how to recover our invariant from Habiro's quantum $mathfrak{sl}_2$ completion studied in arXiv:math/0605313.

Review text

For a knot \(K\) in the three sphere, it is known that the family of the colored Alexander polynomials, or the ADO polynomials \(\{\mathrm{ADO}_r(A,K)\}_{r\in\mathbb N^*},\) determines the family of the colored Jones polynomials \(\{\mathrm{J}_n(q,K)\}_{n\in\mathbb N^*}.\) This paper provides the reversed direction that the colored Jones polynomials determine the ADO polynomials. More precisely, the author defines a two variables knot invariant \(F_{\infty}(q,A,K),\) which unifies the family of the colored Jones polynomials \(\{\mathrm{J}_n(q,K)\}_{n\in\mathbb N^*}\) and the family of the ADO polynomials \(\{\mathrm{ADO}_r(A,K)\}_{r\in\mathbb N^*}\) of \(K.\) As a consequence, \textbf{Result 1.} There is a well-defined map such that, for any knot \(K\) in \(S^3,\) \[ \{\mathrm{J}_n(q,K)\}_{n\in\mathbb N^*}\mapsto \{\mathrm{ADO}_r(A,K)\}_{r\in\mathbb N^*}. \] \textbf{Result 2.} In some ring completion of \(\mathbb Z[q^{\pm 1},A^{\pm 1}]\) equipped with suitable evaluation maps, for any \(0\)-framed knot \(K\) in \(S^3,\) there exists a well-defined knot invariant \(F_{\infty}(q,A,K)\) such that \[F_{\infty}(\xi_{2r},A,K)=\frac{\mathrm{ADO}_r(A,K)}{A_K(A^{2r})},\quad F_{\infty}(\xi_{2r},A,K)=\mathrm{J}_n(q^2,K),\] where \(\xi_{2r}\) is a \(2r\) root of unity and \(A_K\) is the Alexander polynomial of \(K.\) As a consequence, the author proves \textbf{Result 3.} For a \(0\)-framed knot \(K\) and any \(r\in\mathbb N^*:\) \(\bullet \) the unified invariant \(F_{\infty}(q,A,K)\) is \(q\)-holonomic; \(\bullet\) the ADO invariant \(\mathrm{ADO}_r(A,K)\) is \(\xi_{2r}\)-holonomic. Moreover, they are annihilated by the same polynomials as the colored Jones function.
