Scientific paper

In this paper we develop a theory for constructing an invariant of closed oriented 3-manifolds, given a certain type of Hopf algebra. Examples are given by a quantised enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra, or by a semisimple involutory Hopf algebra. The invariant is defined by a state sum model on a triangulation. In some cases, the invariant is the partition function of a topological quantum field theory.
