We study the six-dimensional (2,0) superconformal field theory on S^1 x S^2 x M via compactification to five dimensions, where M is a three-manifold. Twisted along M, the five-dimensional theory has a half of N = (2,2) supersymmetry on S^2, the other half being broken by a superpotential. We show that in the limit where M is infinitely large, the twisted theory reduces to a three-dimensional topological quantum field theory which is closely related to Chern-Simons theory for the complexified gauge group.

    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...
