Abstract: In 2006, Dasbach and Lin observed stability in the coefficients of the Nth colored Jones polynomial for alternating knots. This observation and its consequences have sparked a flurry of activity in both number theory and quantum topology. For example, Garoufalidis, Le and Zagier conjectured identities which have a striking resemblance to those occurring in the classical setting of Rogers and Ramanujan. In this talk, we discuss these developments and a higher order stability formula for an infinite family of pretzel links.
