widehat{Z} at large N: from curve counts to quantum modularity
read the original abstract
Reducing a 6d fivebrane theory on a 3-manifold $Y$ gives a $q$-series 3-manifold invariant $\widehat{Z}(Y)$. We analyse the large-$N$ behaviour of $F_K=\widehat{Z}(M_K)$, where $M_K$ is the complement of a knot $K$ in the 3-sphere, and explore the relationship between an $a$-deformed ($a=q^N$) version of $F_{K}$ and HOMFLY-PT polynomials. On the one hand, in combination with counts of holomorphic annuli on knot complements, this gives an enumerative interpretation of $F_K$ in terms of counts of open holomorphic curves. On the other, it leads to closed form expressions for $a$-deformed $F_K$ for $(2,2p+1)$-torus knots. They suggest a further $t$-deformation based on superpolynomials, which can be used to obtain a $t$-deformation of ADO polynomials, expected to be related to categorification. Moreover, studying how $F_K$ transforms under natural geometric operations on $K$ indicates relations to quantum modularity in a new setting.

3d-3d correspondence for knot complements with finite and large $N$
The SU(N) homological block in inverted-Habiro form equals a half-index of an explicit 3d N=2 theory for the figure-eight and the two trefoil knots, with a conjectural all-knot extension.

$c_{\rm eff}$ from Resurgence at the Stokes Line
Resurgent cyclic orbits' algebraic structure plus the leading q-series term determines the asymptotic growth exponent of dual q-series coefficients, which equals an effective central charge c_eff in a related 3d N=2 QFT.

Quantum invariants of 3-manifolds and links: a review
This is a survey, not a new result: it reviews the q-series invariants Zhat, F_K, F_L and their supergroup analogues, collecting known conjectures, theorems, and examples.
