The quantum SO3SO_3 spin-Chern-Simons correspondence with BM spin TQFTs

The quantum SO3SO_3 spin-Chern-Simons theory assigns invariants and state spaces to spin manifolds. For an odd SO3SO_3 level of the form 2m12m-1, and for the BM spin TQFT at level p=8mp=8m, the proposed correspondence is as follows.

Quantum SO3SO_3 spin-Chern-Simons conjecture. The quantum SO3SO_3 spin-Chern-Simons theory is, in fact, a TQFT and at the 11 (mod 22)-valued SO3SO_3 level 2m12m-1, it is isomorphic to the BM spin TQFT at level p=8mp=8m.

This conjecture proposes a gauge-theoretic realization of the knot-theoretic BM spin TQFTs. It is motivated by the analogous conjectural correspondence between quantum SU2SU_2 Chern-Simons theory and the BHMV TQFT; the source presents it as an open conjecture because the relevant Feynman path integral is not yet mathematically well defined.
