The Chen-Yang volume conjecture for long integral fillings of fundamental shadow links

Abstract

We prove the Chen--Yang volume conjecture for all sufficiently long integral Dehn fillings of any fixed marked fundamental shadow-link exterior. For each fixed filling, the exponential growth of its SO(3) Turaev--Viro invariants recovers its hyperbolic volume along the full sequence of odd levels. The filling coefficients may have mixed signs and unrelated magnitudes. We also establish a complete asymptotic expansion of the signed SO(3) Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev invariant and identify the absolute leading coefficient explicitly in terms of adjoint Reidemeister torsion. Fixed even colors on the filling cores recover characters of the geometric holonomy. The key difficulty is cancellation in the signed surgery sum. Our main analytic tool transfers an exact reflection symmetry from a continuous model to the finite quantum sums. We control the error below the exponential scale of the surviving contribution. We also apply the method to a one-edge state sum restricted to central colors. The dominant contributions cancel, and for each sufficiently large fixed number of blocks we determine the smaller surviving exponential rate and its nonzero leading coefficient.
