Abstract
We describe the simplest non-trivial modular category with two simple objects. Then we extract from this category the invariant for non-oriented links in 3-sphere and two invariants for 3-manifolds: the complex-valued Turaev - Reshetikhin type invariant and the real-valued Turaev - Viro type invariant . These two invariants for 3-manifolds are related by the equality , where is a root of the equation . Finally, we show that coincides with the well-known invariant for 3-manifolds.
