Abstract

We study the large NN limit of twisted partition functions on Mg,p\mathcal{M}_{g,p}, the S1S^1 bundle of degree pp over a Riemann surface of genus gg, for 3D N=2\mathcal{N}=2 superconformal field theories arising as low-energy limit of wrapped NN M5-branes on hyperbolic 3-manifold MM. We study contributions from two Bethe vacua which correspond to two canonical irreducible SL(N,C)SL(N, \mathbb{C}) flat connections on MM via 3D-3D correspondence. Using mathematical results on perturbtaive Chern-Simons invariants around the flat connections, we find universal expressions for the large NN twisted partition functions contributed from the two Bethe vacua in term of the hyperbolic volume of MM. The two large NN partition functions perfectly match the on-shell actions for two Bolt-type solutions in the holographic dual AdS4AdS_4 gravity respectively.
