Abstract

We generalize the quantum duality map IA\mathbb{I}_{\mathcal{A}} of Allegretti--Kim [AK17] for punctured closed surfaces to general marked surfaces. When the marked surface has no interior marked points, we investigate its compatibility with the quantum duality map IX\mathbb{I}_{\mathcal{X}} on the dual side based on the quantum bracelets basis [Thu14, MQ23]. Our construction factors through reduced stated skein algebras, based on the quantum trace maps [L\^e18] together with an appropriate way of \emph{skein lifting} of integral A\mathcal{A}-laminations. We also give skein theoretic proofs for some expected properties of Laurent expressions, and positivity of structure constants for marked disks and a marked annulus.
