The paper clarifies and computes Kashaev-Reshetikhin knot invariants.
problem Defining and computing holonomy invariants of knots.
method Using quantum at a root of unity, associating to each knot a function on the geometric component of its character variety.
result Kashaev-Reshetikhin invariants can be viewed as functions on the geometric component of the A-polynomial curve of a hyperbolic knot.
