Abstract: We formulate the AJ-conjecture for the Teichm"uller TQFT and we prove it in the case of the figure-eight knot complement and the $5_2$-knot complement. This states that the level-$N$ Andersen-Kashaev invariant, $J_{M,K}^{(mathrmb,N)}$, is annihilated by the non-homogeneous $widehatA$-polynomial, evaluated at appropriate $q$-commutative operators. These are obtained via geometric quantisation on the moduli space of flat $operatornameSL(2,mathbbC)$-connections on a genus-$1$ surface. The construction depends on a parameter $sigma$ in the Teichm"{u}ller space in a way measured by the Hitchin-Witten connection, and results in Hitchin-Witten covariantly constant quantum operators for the holonomy functions $m$ and $ell$ along the meridian and longitude. Their action on $J_{M,K}^{(mathrmb,N)}$ is then defined via a trivialisation of the Hitchin-Witten connection and the Weil-Gel'Fand-Zak transform.
