We use the 3d-3d correspondence together with the DGG construction of theories $T_n[M]$ labelled by 3-manifolds M to define a non-perturbative state-integral model for SL(n,C) Chern-Simons theory at any level k, based on ideal triangulations. The resulting partition functions generalize a widely studied k=1 state-integral as well as the 3d index, which is k=0. The Chern-Simons partition functions correspond to partition functions of $T_n[M]$ on squashed lens spaces L(k,1). At any k, they admit a holomorphic-antiholomorphic factorization, corresponding to the decomposition of L(k,1) into two solid tori, and the associated holomorphic block decomposition of the partition functions of T_n[M]. A generalization to L(k,p) is also presented. Convergence of the state integrals, for any k, requires triangulations to admit a positive angle structure; we propose that this is also necessary for the DGG gauge theory T_n[M] to flow to a desired IR SCFT.

    The twisted circle reduction of the (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theory is realized as a DGG abelian Chern-Simons-matter theory on the lens space L(2n+3,2k), with maximal (one-less-than-maximal) monopole superpotential fl...

    A refined 3D index is defined by adding flavor symmetry gradings to the superconformal index of T[M], yielding an explicit infinite-sum formula from Dehn surgery that is claimed to be a strictly stronger invariant tha...
