The colored Jones polynomial and the A-polynomial of 2-bridge knots

Abstract
I will discuss a conjecture mainly due to Garoufalidis, Gelca, and Frohman about the relations between the colored Jones polynomial and the A-polynomial of a knot. I will show some partial results for 2-bridge knots using the calculation of the Kauffman bracket skein module of knot complements.
