3d-3d correspondence for mapping tori

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1995169




Abstract: One of the main challenges in 3d-3d correspondence is that no existent approach offers a complete description of 3d N=2 SCFT T[M3] --- or, rather, a "collection of SCFTs" as we refer to it in the paper --- for all types of 3-manifolds that include, for example, a 3-torus, Brieskorn spheres, and hyperbolic surgeries on knots. The goal of this paper is to overcome this challenge by a more systematic study of 3d-3d correspondence that, first of all, does not rely heavily on any geometric structure on M3 and, secondly, is not limited to a particular supersymmetric partition function of T[M3]. In particular, we propose to describe such "collection of SCFTs" in terms of 3d N=2 gauge theories with "non-linear matter fields valued in complex group manifolds. As a result, we are able to recover familiar 3-manifold invariants, such as Turaev torsion and WRT invariants, from twisted indices and half-indices of T[M3], and propose new tools to compute more recent q-series invariants hatZ(M3) in the case of manifolds with b1>0. Although we use genus-1 mapping tori as our "case study," many results and techniques readily apply to more general 3-manifolds, as we illustrate throughout the paper.
