Generalized Kuperberg invariants of 3-manifolds (Q2279064)

The authors extend a construction given by \textit{G. Kuperberg} [Int. J. Math. 2, No. 1, 41--66 (1991; Zbl 0726.57016)] for finite-dimensional involutory Hopf algebras over a field to involutory Hopf algebras in arbitrary symmetric monoidal categories admitting certain pairs of morphisms called good pairs and introduced by the authors. Moreover they give some examples of such good pairs for involutory Hopf algebras whose distinguished elements are central.
