Please Note: This is part 1 of a two part talk. The second part will continue next week.
I will introduce the AJ conjecture (by Garoufalidis)
which relates the A-polynomial and the colored Jones polynomial of a
knot in the 3-sphere. Then I will verify it for the trefoil and the
figure 8 knots (due to Garoufalidis) and torus knots (due to Hikami) by
explicit calculations.
