Witten's invariants of rational homology spheres at prime values of \(K\) and trivial connection contribution (Q1357408)

The author studies the coefficients of asymptotic expansion of the trivial connection contribution to Witten's invariant of rational homology spheres obtained by \((p_j,1)\) surgeries on the components of an \(N\)-component algebraically split link in the 3-sphere. Then he explicitly verifies a relation between Ohtsuki's invariants [\textit{T. Ohtsuki}, Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 117, No. 1, 83-112 (1995; Zbl 0843.57019)] and trivial connection contribution for lens spaces and Seifert manifolds.
