    added rough statement of the general volume conjecture (here), just so that I could point to

    which seems to be regarded as a landmark result.

    added this:


    A conceptual explanation of the volume conjecture was proposed in

    (but it seems that as a sketch or strategy for a rigorous proof, it didn’t catch on).

    have added more reference and more citation data, adjusted and slightly expanded the text, and added more cross-links

    added pointer also to the SU(n)SU(n)-version of the conjecture. This made me re-label the subsections for the different variants to something more informative, and this in turn made me add a general Idea-statement before diving into the special cases

    after two hours of literature search, it looks like my idea for how to attack the volume conjecture has already been explored, Gang-Kim-Lee 14, 3.2

    Added a diagram (here) which illustrates the proposed proof/explanation to the volume conjecture by the combination of AdS/CFT with 3d/3d duality applied to M5-branes wrapped on hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

    There’s a typo in the diagram, which I can’t change. In the centre it has

    AdS/CFT-duality comactified on Σ 3\Sigma^3

    Thanks for the alert. I’ll try to dig it out and fix it.
