On the Kauffman Skein Modules
Abstract. Let k be a subring of the field of rational functions in α, s which contains α, s. Let M be a compact oriented 3-manifold, and let K(M) denote the Kauffman skein module of M over k. Then K(M) is the free k-module generated by isotopy classes of framed links in M modulo the Kauffman skein relations. In the case of k = Q(α, s), the field of rational functions in α, s, we give a basis fo...
متن کاملSkein Modules of 3-manifolds
It is natural to try to place the new polynomial invariants of links in algebraic topology (e.g. to try to interpret them using homology or homotopy groups). However, one can think that these new polynomial invariants are byproducts of a new more delicate algebraic invariant of 3-manifolds which measures the obstruction to isotopy of links (which are homotopic). We propose such an algebraic inv...
متن کاملOn Constructions of Generalized Skein Modules
Jozef Przytycki introduced skein modules of 3-manifolds and skein deformation initiating algebraic topology based on knots. We discuss the generalized skein modules of Walker, defined by fields and local relations. Some results by Przytycki are proven in a more general setting of fields defined by decorated cell-complexes in manifolds. A construction of skein theory from embedded TQFT-functors ...
متن کاملFundamentals of Kauffman bracket skein modules
Skein modules are the main objects of an algebraic topology based on knots (or position). In the same spirit as Leibniz we would call our approach algebra situs. When looking at the panorama of skein modules1, we see, past the rolling hills of homologies and homotopies, distant mountains the Kauffman bracket skein module, and farther off in the distance skein modules based on other quantum inva...
متن کاملFrobenius algebras and skein modules of surfaces in 3-manifolds
For each Frobenius algebra there is defined a skein module of surfaces embedded in a given 3manifold and bounding a prescribed curve system in the boundary. The skein relations are local and generate the kernel of a certain natural extension of the corresponding topological quantum field theory. In particular the skein module of the 3-ball is isomorphic to the ground ring of the Frobenius algeb...
