abstract
We present the partition function of the refined Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ with arbitrary A,B,C,D gauge algebra in terms of multiple sine functions. For B and C cases this representation is novel. It allows us to conjecture duality to some refined and orientifolded versions of the topological string on the resolved conifold, and carry out the detailed identification of different contributions. The free energies for D and C algebras possess the usual halved contribution from the A theory, i.e. orientable surfaces, and contributions of non-orientable surfaces with one cross-cup, with opposite signs, similar as for the non-refined theories. However, in the refined case, both theories possess in addition a non-zero contribution of orientable surfaces with two cross-cups. In particular, we observe a trebling of the K\"ahler parameter, in the sense of a refinement and world-sheet (i.e. the number of cross-cups) dependent quantum shift. For B algebra the contribution of Klein bottles is zero, as is the case in the non-refined theory, and the one-cross-cup terms differ from the D and C cases. For the (refined) constant maps terms of these theories we suggest a modular-invariant representation, which leads to natural topological string interpretation. We also calculate some non-perturbative corrections.

Macdonald deformation of Vogel's universality and link hyperpolynomials
For the adjoint square in ADE Lie algebras, products of Macdonald dimensions with deformed Littlewood-Richardson coefficients are universal, yielding universal formulas for T[2,2n] link hyperpolynomials.
