Abstract

M. Hennings and G. Kuperberg defined quantum invariants ZHennZ_{\rm Henn} and ZKupZ_{\rm Kup} of closed oriented 3-manifolds based on certain Hopf algebras, respectively. We prove that ∣ZKup∣=∣ZHenn∣2|Z_{\rm Kup}|=|Z_{\rm Henn}|^2 for lens spaces when both invariants are based on factorizable finite dimensional ribbon Hopf algebras.
