چکیده

We use recoupling theory to study the Kauffman bracket skein module of the quaternionic manifold over Z[A ±1 ] localized by inverting all the cyclotomic polynomials. We prove that the skein module is spanned by five elements. Using the quantum invariants of these skein elements and the Z 2-homology of the manifold, we determine that they are linearly independent.

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...

The Kauffman Skein Module of the Connected Sum of 3-manifolds

Let k be an integral domain containing the invertible elements α, s and 1 s−s −1 . If M is an oriented 3-manifold, let K(M) denote the Kauffman skein module of M over k. Based on the work on Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra by Beliakova and Blanchet [2], we give an “idempotent-like” basis for the Kauffman skein module of handlebodies. Gilmer and Zhong [6] have studied the Homflypt skein modules of...

Kauffman bracket skein module of a connected sum of 3-manifolds

We show that for the Kauffman bracket skein module over the field of rational functions in variable A, the module of a connected sum of 3-manifolds is the tensor product of modules of the individual manifolds.

ON THE KAUFFMAN BRACKET SKEIN MODULE OF SURGERY ON A (2, 2b) TORUS LINK

We show that the Kauffman bracket skein modules of certain manifolds obtained from integral surgery on a (2, 2b) torus link are finitely generated, and list the generators for select examples.

Skein Modules of Links in Cylinders over Surfaces

We define the Conway skein module (M) of ordered based links in a 3-manifold M . This module gives rise to (M)-valued invariants of usual links in M . We determine a basis of the Z[z]-module (Σ× [0,1])/Tor( (Σ× [0,1])), where Σ is the real projective plane or a surface with boundary. For cylinders over the Möbius strip or the projective plane, we derive special properties of the Conway skein mo...
