DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/WHCGP/3/">Qu
 antum modularity from 3-manifolds</a>\nby Miranda Cheng (University of Ams
 terdam) as part of Western Hemisphere colloquium on geometry and physics\n
 \n\nAbstract\nQuantum modular forms are functions on rational numbers that
  have rather mysterious weak modular properties. Mock modular forms and fa
 lse theta functions are examples of holomorphic functions on the upper-hal
 f plane which lead to quantum modular forms. Inspired by the 3d-3d corresp
 ondence in string theory\, a new topological invariants named homological 
 blocks for (in particular plumbed) three-manifolds have been proposed a fe
 w years ago. My talk aims to explain the recent observations on the quantu
 m modular properties of the homological blocks\, as well as the relation t
