Abstract

For any marked three manifold (M,N)(M,\mathcal N) and any quantum parameter q12q^{\frac{1}{2}} (a nonzero complex number), we use Sq1/2(M,N)\mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N}) to denote the stated skein module of (M,N)(M,\mathcal{N}). When q12q^{\frac{1}{2}} is a root of unity of odd order, the commutative algebra S1(M,N)\mathscr{S}_1(M,\mathcal{N}) acts on Sq1/2(M,N)\mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N}). For any maximal ideal ρ\rho of S1(M,N)\mathscr{S}_1(M,\mathcal{N}), define Sq1/2(M,N)ρ=Sq1/2(M,N)S1(M,N)(S1(M,N)/ρ)\mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N})_{\rho} = \mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N})\otimes _{\mathscr{S}_1(M,\mathcal{N})} (\mathscr{S}_1(M,\mathcal{N})/\rho). We prove the splitting map for Sq1/2(M,N)\mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N}) respects the S1(M,N)\mathscr{S}_1(M,\mathcal{N})-module structure, so it reduces to the splitting map for Sq1/2(M,N)ρ\mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N})_{\rho}. We prove the splitting map for Sq1/2(M,N)ρ\mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N})_{\rho} is injective if there exists at least one component of N\mathcal{N} such that this component and the boundary of the splitting disk belong to the same component of M\partial M. We also prove the representation-reduced stated skein module of the marked handlebody is an irreducible Azumaya representation of the stated skein algebra of its boundary. Let MM be an oriented connected closed three manifold. For any positive integer kk, we use MkM_{k} to denote the marked three manifold obtained from MM by removing kk open three dimensional balls and adding one marking to each newly created sphere boundary component. We prove dimCSq1/2(Mk)ρ=1\text{dim}_{\mathbb{C}}\mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}( M_{k})_{\rho} = 1 for any maximal ideal ρ\rho of S1(Mk)\mathscr{S}_1(M_k).
