Spectra for volume and determinant density
by

Coauthors: Ilya Kofman and Jessica Purcell

We study the asymptotic behaviour of two basic knot invariants, a geometric invariant called the volume density defined as volume per crossing number, and a diagrammatic invariant called the determinant density defined as 2 pi log det(K) per crossing number. We will discuss theorems and conjectures relating the asymptotic behaviour of these invariants.
