A q-series identity via the sl₃ colored Jones polynomials for the (2,2m)-torus link

Abstract: The colored Jones polynomial is a

q

-polynomial invariant of links colored by irreducible representations of a simple Lie algebra. A

q

-series called a tail is obtained as the limit of the

m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}

colored Jones polynomials

{J_{n} (K; q)}_{n}

for some link

K

, for example, an alternating link. For the

m a t h f r a k {s l}_{3}

colored Jones polynomials, the existence of a tail is unknown. We give two explicit formulas of the tail of the

m a t h f r a k {s l}_{3}

colored Jones polynomials colored by

(n, 0)

for the

(2, 2 m)

-torus link. These two expressions of the tail provide an identity of

q

-series. This is a knot-theoretical generalization of the Andrews-Gordon identities for the Ramanujan false theta function.
