Abstract

We examine two different m-traces in the category of representations over the quantum Lie superalgebra associated to sl(mn)\mathfrak{sl}(m|n) at root of unity. The first m-trace is on the ideal of projective modules and leads to new Extended Topological Quantum Field Theories. The second m-trace is on the ideal of perturbative typical modules. We consider the quotient with respect to negligible morphisms coming from this m-trace and show that in the case of sl(21)\mathfrak{sl}(2|1) this quotient leads to 3-manifolds invariants. We conjecture that the quotient category of perturbatives over quantum sl(mn)\mathfrak{sl}(m|n) leads to 3-manifold invariants and more generally ETQFTs.
