[For the entire collection see Zbl 0747.00024.] A rigorous approach to construct Witten's 3-manifolds invariants, different from the one of Reshetikhin-Turaev, is presented. This approach uses (projective) representations of mapping class groups, appearing in conformal field theory. The space of this representation (the state space, or the space of conformal blocks) 3-manifold invariant is defined as a (normalized) vacuum-vacuum matrix element in this representation. A signature correction term which describes certain central extension of the mapping class group is written down explicitely. It appears that this central extension gives rise to the Shale-Weil cochain on the symplectic group. Surgery formulae for these invariants are also given.
