Abstract

Z^\hat{Z} invariants of 3-manifolds were introduced as series in q=e2πiτq=e^{2\pi i\tau} in order to categorify Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants corresponding to τ=1/k\tau=1/k. However modularity properties suggest that all roots of unity are on the same footing. The main result of this paper is the expression connecting Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants with Z^\hat{Z} invariants for τQ\tau\in\mathbb{Q}. We present the reasoning leading to this conjecture and test it on various 3-manifolds.
