The mock modularity conjecture for quantum invariants of orientation-reversed three-manifolds

Let M3M_3 be a three-manifold whose quantum invariants have the form

Z^a(M3;τ)=qc(g~(τ)+p(τ)),\widehat Z_a(M_3;\tau)=q^c\left(\widetilde g(\tau)+p(\tau)\right),

where cQc\in\mathbb{Q}, g~(τ)\widetilde g(\tau) is the Eichler integral of a weight-32\frac{3}{2} theta function g(τ)g(\tau), and p(τ)p(\tau) is a polynomial in qq. Mock modularity conjecture. The quantum invariants of the orientation reversal satisfy

Z^a(M3;τ)=qc(f(τ)+p(τ)),\widehat Z_a(-M_3;\tau)=q^{-c}\left(f(\tau)+p(-\tau)\right),

where f(τ)f(\tau) is a weight-12\frac{1}{2} mock modular form whose shadow is g(τ)g(\tau). This proposes a relation between quantum invariants of plumbed three-manifolds and mock modular forms; the source notes that outside the weakly negative plumbed setting it can also serve as a definition, while physical quantum invariants exist more generally and allow independent checks.
