Abstract

The ADO invariants are a sequence of non-semisimple quantum invariants coming from the representation theory of the quantum group Uq(sl(2))U_q(sl(2)) at roots of unity. Ito showed that these invariants are sums of traces of quotients of homological representations of braid groups (truncated Lawrence representations). In this paper we show a direct homological formula for the ADO invariants, as sums of partial traces of Lawrence type representations, without further truncations.
