A new class of 3-manifold invariants is constructed from representations of the category of framed tangles.
Aim of this note is to extract cohomological information about the manifold $Emb(M,N)$ from the topology of the target manifold N. For special conditions, a monomorphism $H^1 (N) \to H^1 (Emb(M,N))$ is constructed.
