We obtain an exact modularity relation for the q-Pochhammer symbol. Using this formula, we show that Zagier's modularity conjecture for a knot K essentially reduces to the arithmeticity conjecture for K. In particular, we show that Zagier's conjecture holds for hyperbolic knots K not equal 7(2) with at most seven crossings. For K = 41, we also prove a complementary reciprocity formula which allows us to prove a law of large numbers for the values of the colored Jones polynomials at roots of unity. We conjecture a similar formula holds for all knots and we show that this is the case if one assumes a suitable version of Zagier's conjecture.

Abstract
We obtain an exact modularity relation for the q-Pochhammer symbol. Using this formula, we show that Zagier's modularity conjecture for a knot K essentially reduces to the arithmeticity conjecture for K. In particular, we show that Zagier's conjecture holds for hyperbolic knots K not equal 7(2) with at most seven crossings. For K = 41, we also prove a complementary reciprocity formula which allows us to prove a law of large numbers for the values of the colored Jones polynomials at roots of unity. We conjecture a similar formula holds for all knots and we show that this is the case if one assumes a suitable version of Zagier's conjecture.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
