Abstract
We give a construction of a state sum invariant of a closed spin 3-manifold based on a super 3-cocycle and a combinatorial representation of a spin 3-manifold, where is a -valued cocycle and is a 3-cochain satisfying a 3-cocycle condition with a sign coming from the 2-cocycle . The definition of the invariant is similar to the state sum construction of the Dijkgraaf-Witten invariant, except it uses the spin structure to take care of the sign in the 3-cocycle condition. We also give an example of the invariant and see that it is sensitive to the spin structure.
