3d-3d correspondence

M3&T[M3]
Compactifying 6d (2,0) theory on M3 gives a 3d N=2 theory T[M3] in Type IIB string theory, which isn't on M3 but only depends on the topology of M3.

  1. MSUSYvacua(T[M3;G])Mflat(M3;GC), with the former on R2×S1.

  2. ZT[M3;G][L(k,1)b]=ZCS(k,σ)[M3;GC]. (WRT invariant)
    eg. L(k=0,1)=S1×S2 gives the superconformal index of T[M3]; when M=S3, T[M3] is dual to free chiral multiplets (in the sense of brane construction, Z-function (partition function on S3) and superconformal index); when M=L(p,1), it's dual to moduli space of N vortex in a U(p) gauge theory VN,p

  3. GPPV invariant and Ha[M3] (categorification)
