Q-Series and quantum spin networks

Abstract

The tail of a quantum spin network in the two-sphere is a [Formula: see text]-series associated to the network. We study the existence of the head and tail functions of quantum spin networks colored by [Formula: see text]. We compute the [Formula: see text]-series for an infinite family of quantum spin networks and give the relation between the tail of these networks and the tail of the colored Jones polynomial. Finally, we show that the family of quantum spin networks under study satisfies a natural product structure.
