I will talk about three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories on a class of Seifert manifold. More precisely, I will compute the supersymmetric partition functions and correlation functions of BPS loop operators on M_{g,p}, which is defined by a circle bundle of degree p over a genus g Riemann surface. I will also talk about four-dimensional uplift of this construction, which computes the generalized index of N=1 gauge theories defined on elliptic fiberation over genus g Riemann surface. We will find that the partition function or the index can be written as a sum over "Bethe vacua” of two-dimensional A-twisted theory obtained by a circle compactification. With this framework, I will show how the partition functions on manifolds with different topologies are related to each other. We will also find that these observables are very useful to study the action of Seiberg-like dualities on co-dimension two BPS operators.
