Abstract

We study formal series which are invariants of plumbed 3-manifolds twisted by root lattices. These series extend the BPS qq-series Z^(q)\widehat{Z}(q) recently defined in Gukov-Pei-Putrov-Vafa, Gukov-Manolescu, Park, and further refined in Ri. We show that the series Z^(q)\widehat{Z}(q) is unique in an appropriate sense and decomposes as the average of related series which are themselves invariant under the five Neumann moves amongst plumbing trees. Explicit computations are presented in the case of Brieskorn spheres and a non-Seifert manifold.
