Abstract: Invariants of 3-manifolds from a non semi-simple category of modules over a version of quantum sl(2) were obtained by the last three authors in [arXiv:1404.7289]. In their construction the quantum parameter q is a root of unity of order 2r where r>1 is odd or congruent to 2 modulo 4. In this paper we consider the remaining cases where r is congruent to zero modulo 4 and produce invariants of 3-manifolds with colored links, equipped with generalized spin structure. For a given 3-manifold M, the relevant generalized spin structures are (non canonically) parametrized by H1(M;mathbbC/2mathbbZ).


\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 \(H^1(M; \mathbb{C}/2\mathbb{Z})\).
