We propose and in some cases prove a precise relation between 3-manifold invariants associated with quantum groups at roots of unity and at generic $q$. Both types of invariants are labeled by extra data which plays an important role in the proposed relation. Bridging the two sides -- which until recently were developed independently, using very different methods -- opens many new avenues. In one direction, it allows to study (and perhaps even to formulate) $q$-series invariants labeled by spin… Expand

The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants extend the Jones polynomials of links in S^3 to invariants of links in 3-manifolds. Similarly, in a preceding paper, the authors constructed two 3-manifoldExpand
