When G=1, this invariant equals to the one of 3-manifolds constructed by Kuperberg from involutary Hopf algebras. We give examples which show that this invariant is not trivial.26 pagesGeometric TopologyQuantum Algebra57R10; 57M27; 16W30Involutory Hopf group-coalgebras and flat bundles over 3-manifoldstext
