Non semi-simple \({\mathfrak {sl}(2)}\) quantum invariants, spin case (Q490024)

\textit{F. Costantino} et al. [J. Topol. 7, No. 4, 1005--1053 (2014; Zbl 1320.57016)] constructed invariants of 3-manifolds equipped with a 1-dimensional cohomology class over \(\mathbb{C}/2\mathbb{Z}\), using a non semi-simple representation category of quantum \(\mathfrak{sl}(2)\) with quantum parameter \(q\) a root of unity of order \(2r\) with \(r>1,r\not\equiv0\pmod{4}\). In the paper under review, the authors consider the case \(r\equiv0\pmod4\). They obtain invariants for 3-manifolds with a kind of generalized spin structures. The generalized spin structure for a 3-manifold \(M\) is non-canonically parametrized by \(H^1(M; \mathbb{C}/2\mathbb{Z})\).
