On the Kashaev--Luo--Vartanov Partition Function for Cusped 3-Manifolds: Asymptotics and a squared norm property

We study the asymptotic and TQFT-type properties of the Kashaev--Luo--Vartanov (KLV) partition function. We show that the partition function depends on the prescribed angle structure only through its peripheral angular holonomies. For any geometric triangulation of a cusped 3-manifold realizing a hyperbolic cone struct...
