Abstract
We describe one avenue to the explicit calculation of partition functions of knot complements in Chern-Simons theory with noncompact gauge group SL(2,C), following [1]. Our techniques involve geometric quantization of the moduli space of flat connections on the torus, combined with quantization of the classical A-polynomial of a knot complement. We also compare these methods to known results for compact gauge group SU(2).
