Abstract

Invariants of 3-manifolds from a non semi-simple category of modules over a version of quantum sl(2) were obtained by the last three authors in [arXiv:1404.7289]. In their construction the quantum parameter qq is a root of unity of order 2r2r where r>1r>1 is odd or congruent to 22 modulo 44. In this paper we consider the remaining cases where rr is congruent to zero modulo 44 and produce invariants of 33-manifolds with colored links, equipped with generalized spin structure. For a given 33-manifold MM, the relevant generalized spin structures are (non canonically) parametrized by H1(M;C/2Z)H^1(M;\mathbb C/2\mathbb Z).
