The graded Drinfeld-center conjecture for holonomy invariants

Let C\mathcal{C} be the SL2(C)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})^*-graded category described in the paper, let D\mathcal{D} be the doubled category constructed from C\mathcal{C}, and let ZSL2(C)(C)\mathcal{Z}_{\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})^*}(\mathcal{C}) denote the corresponding graded Drinfeld center. Graded Drinfeld-center conjecture. There is an equivalence

ZSL2(C)(C)D,\mathcal{Z}_{\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})^*}(\mathcal{C})\cong\mathcal{D},

so that the surgery invariant from D\mathcal{D} can be interpreted as the state-sum invariant from C\mathcal{C}. This is motivated by the analogous equivalence in the non-graded case and by the graded state-sum/surgery correspondence, but the paper notes difficulties arising from the non-semisimplicity of C\mathcal{C} and the grading action.
