Abstract

It is well-known to the experts that multi-dimensional state integrals of products of Faddeev's quantum dilogarithm which arise in Quantum Topology can be written as finite sums of products of basic hypergeometric series in q=e2πiτ and q=e-2πi/τ. We illustrate this fact by giving a detailed proof for a family of one-dimensional integrals which includes state-integral invariants of 41 and 52 knots.
