Abstract:
The Slope Conjecture relates the degree of the colored Jones polynomial of a
knot to boundary slopes of incompressible surfaces. Our aim is to prove the
Slope Conjecture for Montesinos knots, and to match parameters of a
state-formula for the colored Jones polynomial of such knots with the
parameters that describe their corresponding incompressible surfaces via the
Hatcher-Oertel algorithm.
