There has recently been a growing literature on non-semisimple MTCs/TQFTs. This paper observes that non-semisimple MTCs often naturally have pseudo-Hermitian structures, which allows them to be integrated into the Levin-Wen model to give non-semisimple TQFTs.
One of the big algebraic tools used in this paper is the idea of "unrolled" quantum groups. The representations of unrolled quantum groups naturally give non-semisimple TQFTs, and hence serve as the canonical examples of this new class of objects.
