Abstract

In this chapter, we will use the calculations of S3\\SA obtained in earlier chapters to relate the geometry of A-adequate links to diagrammatic quantities and to Jones polynomials. In Sect. 9.1, we combine Theorem 5.14 with results of Agol et al. [6] to obtain bounds on the volumes of hyperbolic A-adequate links. A sample result is Theorem 9.7, which gives tight diagrammatic estimates on the volumes of positive braids with at least 3 crossings per twist region. The gap between the upper and lower bounds on volume is a factor of about 4.15.
