N2 - In this paper we define the sl(2, C) topological quantum field theory with corners that corresponds to the smooth theory of Reshetikhin and Turaev. We encounter a sign obstruction at the level of the modular functor, which we solve by making use of the Klein four group. We deduce the Moore-Seiberg equations in the new context.
