Abstract
I'll review some general aspects of complex Chern-Simons theory\non hyperbolic 3-manifolds, focusing on the case of gauge group G=SL(2,C).\nAfter a brief introduction to the Volume Conjecture (VC), for knot\ncomplements and, a very recent mathematical proposal, for closed hyperbolic\n3-manifolds, I'll show how complex Chern-Simons theory is related with them\nand how this connection leads to a novel generalization of the most\nrecently proposed VC for closed 3-manifolds.
