Abstract

Let (M,N)(M,\mathcal{N}) be a marked 3-manifold. We use Sn(M,N,v)S_n(M,\mathcal{N},v) to denote the stated SLnSL_n-skein module of (M,N)(M,\mathcal{N}) where vv is a nonzero complex number. We establish a surjective algebra homomorphism from Sn(M,N,1)S_n(M,\mathcal{N},1) to the coordinate ring of some algebraic set, and prove its kernel consists of all nilpotents. We prove the universal representation algebra of π1(M)\pi_1(M) is isomorphic to Sn(M,N,1)S_n(M,\mathcal{N},1) when MM is connected and N\mathcal{N} has only one component. Furthermore, we show Sn(M,N,1)S_n(M,\mathcal{N}',1) is isomorphic to Sn(M,N,1)O(SLn)S_n(M,\mathcal{N},1)\otimes O(SL_n) as algebras, where (M,N)(M,\mathcal{N}) is a connected marked 3-manifold with N\mathcal{N}\neq\emptyset, and N\mathcal{N}' is obtained from N\mathcal{N} by adding one extra marking.

We split our submitted paper "arXiv:2307.10288" into two papers. The current one contains sections 3, 4, 5, and 9 of the original version, and has 35 pages. We will use the other one to replace the original copy
