The Neumann-Zagier equations are well-understood objects of classical hyperbolic geometry. Our discovery is that they have a nontrivial quantum content, (that for instance captures the perturbation theory of the Kashaev invariant to all orders) expressed via universal combinatorial formulas. Joint work with Tudor Dimofte.
