abstract

S. Gukov and C. Manolescu conjectured that the Melvin-Morton-Rozansky expansion of the colored Jones polynomials can be re-summed into a two-variable series $F_K(x,q)$, which is the knot complement version of the 3-manifold invariant $\hat{Z}$ whose existence was predicted earlier by S. Gukov, P. Putrov and C. Vafa. In this paper we use an inverted version of the R-matrix state sum to prove this conjecture for a big class of links that includes all homogeneous braid links as well as all fibered knots up to 10 crossings. We also study an inverted version of Habiro's cyclotomic series that leads to a new perspective on $F_K$ and discovery of some regularized surgery formulas relating $F_K$ with $\hat{Z}$. These regularized surgery formulas are then used to deduce expressions of $\hat{Z}$ for some plumbed 3-manifolds in terms of indefinite theta functions.

    math.GT 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Defines the three-variable superalgebra series F_K(y,z,q) for knot complements, derives its surgery relation to hat Z(q), and computes examples for torus knots.

  3. 3d-3d correspondence for knot complements with finite and large $N$

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  4. 3d-3d correspondence and abelian flat connection

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    The homological block of a knot complement is realized as a half-index of a 3d N=2 theory via a contour enclosing z=q^k poles, and the same integral at z=q^-k poles gives the colored Jones polynomial.

  5. $c_{\rm eff}$ from Resurgence at the Stokes Line

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.

  6. Quantum invariants of 3-manifolds and links: a review

    math-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 1.0

    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.
