Abstract: We construct an invariant J_M of integral homology spheres M with values in a completion hat{Z[q]} of the polynomial ring Z[q] such that the evaluation at each root of unity zeta gives the the SU(2) Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant au_zeta(M) of M at zeta. Thus J_M unifies all the SU(2) Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of M. As a consequence, au_zeta(M) is an algebraic integer. Moreover, it follows that au_zeta(M) as a function on zeta behaves like an ``analytic function defined on the set of roots of unity. That is, the au_zeta(M) for all roots of unity are determined by a "Taylor expansion" at any root of unity, and also by the values at infinitely many roots of unity of prime power orders. In particular, au_zeta(M) for all roots of unity are determined by the Ohtsuki series, which can be regarded as the Taylor expansion at q=1.
