Abstract: For each finite dimensional, simple, complex Lie algebra $mathfrakg$ and each root of unity $xi$ (with some mild restriction on the order) one can define the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) quantum invariant $a{u}_M^{mathfrakg}(xi)inmathbbC$ of oriented 3-manifolds $M$. In the present paper we construct an invariant $J_M$ of integral homology spheres $M$ with values in the cyclotomic completion $widehatmathbbZ[q]$ of the polynomial ring $mathbbZ[q]$, such that the evaluation of $J_M$ at each root of unity gives the WRT quantum invariant of $M$ at that root of unity. This result generalizes the case $mathfrakg=s{l}_2$ proved by the first author. It follows that $J_M$ unifies all the quantum invariants of $M$ associated with $mathfrakg$, and represents the quantum invariants as a kind of "analytic function" defined on the set of roots of unity. For example, $a{u}_M(xi)$ 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. It follows that WRT quantum invariants $a{u}_M(xi)$ for all roots of unity are determined by the Ohtsuki series, which can be regarded as the Taylor expansion at $q=1$, and hence by the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki invariant. Another consequence is that the WRT quantum invariants $a{u}_M^{mathfrakg}(xi)$ are algebraic integers. The construction of the invariant $J_M$ is done on the level of quantum group, and does not involve any finite dimensional representation, unlike the definition of the WRT quantum invariant. Thus, our construction gives a unified, "representation-free" definition of the quantum invariants of integral homology spheres.
