Abstract: In the 90s, based on presentations of 3-manifolds by Heegaard diagrams, Kuperberg associated a scalar invariant of 3-manifolds to each finite dimensional involutory Hopf algebra over a field. We generalize this construction to the case of involutory Hopf algebras in arbitrary symmetric monoidal categories admitting certain pairs of morphisms called good pairs. We construct examples of such good pairs for involutory Hopf algebras whose distinguished grouplike elements are central. The generalized construction is illustrated by an example of an involutory super Hopf algebra.


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.
