Abstract

As an extension of Reshetikhin and Turaev's invariant, Costantino, Geer and Patureau-Mirand constructed 33-manifold invariants in the setting of relative GG-modular categories, which include both semisimple and non-semisimple ribbon tensor categories as examples. In this paper, we follow their method to construct a 33-manifold invariant from Viro's gl(11)\mathfrak{gl}(1\vert 1)-Alexander polynomial. We take lens spaces L(7,1)L(7, 1) and L(7,2)L(7, 2) as examples to show that this invariant can distinguish homotopy equivalent manifolds.
