Resurgent Analysis for Some 3-manifold Invariants

Abstract: We study resurgence for some 3-manifold invariants when $G_{\mathbb{C}}=SL(2, \mathbb{C})$. We discuss the case of an infinite family of Seifert manifolds for general roots of unity and the case of the torus knot complement in $S^3$. Via resurgent analysis, we see that the contribution from the abelian flat connections to the analytically continued Chern-Simons partition function contains the information of all non-abelian flat connections, so it can be regarded as a full partition function of the analytically continued Chern-Simons theory on 3-manifolds $M_3$. In particular, this directly indicates that the homological block for the torus knot complement in $S^3$ is an analytic continuation of the full $G=SU(2)$ partition function, i.e. the colored Jones polynomial.
