The SL(2,C) character variety is an important tool in studying hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Chinburg-Reid-Stover defined a number-theoretic knot invariant called the canonical Azumaya algebra. In this talk, we will discuss a refinement of this invariant and prove that the new invariant exists for certain hyperbolic knots with genus 1 Seifert surface.
