Abstract
For a ring , we denote by the free -module spanned by the isotopy classes of singular links in . Given two invertible elements , the HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links in (relative to the triple ) is the quotient of by local relations, called skein relations, that involve and . We compute the HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links for any such that and are invertible. In particular, we deduce the Conway skein module of singular links.
