Abstract

We construct non-semisimple 2 + 1-TQFTs yielding mapping class group representations in Lyubashenko’s spaces. In order to do this, we first generalize Beliakova, Blanchet and Geer’s logarithmic Hennings invariants based on quantum \({\mathfrak{sl}_2}\) to the setting of finite-dimensional non-degenerate unimodular ribbon Hopf algebras. The tools used for this construction are a Hennings-augmented Reshetikhin–Turaev functor and modified traces. When the Hopf algebra is factorizable, we further show that the universal construction of Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum and Vogel produces a 2 + 1-TQFT on a not completely rigid monoidal subcategory of cobordisms.
