introduction

  • asymptotic behavior of perturbative Chern-Simons invariants on knot complements \(M\)
  • 3D-3D correspondence relates the CS invariants on M to supersymmetric quantities of the corresponding 3-dimensional quantum field theory which will be denoted by \(T[M]\)
  • using holographic principle one can related the 3D theory \(T[M]\) to M-theory on an anti de-Sitter space


M-theory

  • still mysterious
  • 11d physical theory
  • fundamental objects are M2 (3d), M5(6d) branes
  • let \(M\) be a 3dimensional space obtained as knot complement
  • in the study of dynamics of N M5-branes on \(\mathbb{R}^{1,2}\times M\)


3d-3d correspondence

  • partition function \(T_N[M]\) on \(S_b^3\) = partition function \(PGL(N)\) CS theory on \(M\)

\[ Z_{T_N[M]}[S_b^3](N,M;b)=Z^{\text{geom}}_{PGL(N)}[M;\hbar] \] where \(2\pi i b^2=\hbar\)


holographic principle

  • 3d \(T_N[M]\) theory at large \(N\) = M-theory on \(\operatorname{AdS}_4\times M\times S^4\)
  • for large \(N\)

\[ Z_{T_N[M]}[S_b^3](N,M;b)=\exp(-S_0^{\text{gravity}}[\operatorname{AdS}_4\times M\times S^4])\frac{(b+b^{-1})^2N^3}{12\pi}\operatorname{Vol}(M)+\text{subleadings} \]
