Abstract

Three-manifold invariants Z^\hat Z (''ZZ-hat''), also known as homological blocks, are qq-series with integer coefficients. Explicit qq-series form for Z^\hat Z is known for SU(2)SU(2) group, supergroup SU(21)SU(2|1) and ortho-symplectic supergroup OSp(22)OSp(2|2). We focus on Z^\hat Z for SO(3)SO(3) group and orthosymplectic supergroup OSp(12)OSp(1|2) in this paper. Particularly, the change of variable relating SU(2)SU(2) link invariants to the SO(3)SO(3) & OSp(12)OSp(1|2) link invariants plays a crucial role in explicitly writing the qq-series.
