For an unpunctured marked surface $\Sigma$, we consider a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sl}_{3},\Sigma}^{q}$ consisting of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-webs on $\Sigma$ with the boundary skein relations at marked points. We construct a quantum…
Skein lasagna modules are a recent tool developed for the study of 4-manifolds. We provide general formula for 1-, 2-, and 3-handle attachments for skein modules defined with any functorial link theory in $S^3 \times I$ generalizing…
The stated ${\rm SL}_n$-skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\hat{q}}(\mathfrak{S})$ of a surface $\mathfrak{S}$ is a quantization of the ${\rm SL}_n$-character variety, and is spanned over $\mathbb{Z}[\hat{q}^{\pm 1}]$ by framed tangles in…
For each Frobenius algebra there is defined a skein module of surfaces embedded in a given 3-manifold and bounding a prescribed curve system in the boundary. The skein relations are local and generate the kernel of a certain natural…
Let M be a closed 3-manifold and S(M) the skein module of M at some odd root of unity. Using the Frobenius morphism, we can see S(M) as the space of global sections of a coherent sheaf over the SL2 character scheme of M. We prove that when…
We prove a generalised version of finiteness of skein modules for 3-manifolds by including boundary. We show that internal skein modules are holonomic modules over the internal skein algebra of the boundary - a property including finite…
In this paper we present recent results on the computation of skein modules of 3-manifolds using braids and appropriate knot algebras. Skein modules generalize knot polynomials in $S^3$ to knot polynomials in arbitrary 3-manifolds and they…
We give an explicit correspondence between stated skein algebras, which are defined via explicit relations on stated tangles in [Costantino F., L\^e T.T.Q., arXiv:1907.11400], and internal skein algebras, which are defined as internal…
It is natural to try to place the new polynomial invariants of links in algebraic topology (e.g. to try to interpret them using homology or homotopy groups). However, one can think that these new polynomial invariants are byproducts of a…
In this paper we study the skein algebras of marked surfaces and the skein modules of marked 3-manifolds. Muller showed that skein algebras of totally marked surfaces may be embedded in easy to study algebras known as quantum tori. We first…
In the paper, we show some properties of (reduced) stated $\mathrm{SL}(n)$-skein algebras related to their centers for essentially bordered pb surfaces, especially their centers, finitely generation over their centers, and their PI-degrees.…
We show that relations in Homflypt type skein theory of an oriented $3$-manifold $M$ are induced from a $2$-groupoid defined from the fundamental $2$-groupoid of a space of singular links in $M$. The module relations are defined by…
We describe in this chapter (Chapter IX) the idea of building an algebraic topology based on knots (or more generally on the position of embedded objects). That is, our basic building blocks are considered up to ambient isotopy (not…
We study the stated skein modules of marked 3-manifolds. We generalize the splitting homomorphism for stated skein algebras of surfaces to a splitting homomorphism for stated skein modules of 3-manifolds. We show that there exists a…
We introduce a quantum cluster algebra structure $\mathscr A_\omega(\mathfrak{S})$ inside the skew-field fractions ${\rm Frac}\bigl(\widetilde{\mathscr{S}}_\omega(\mathfrak{S})\bigr)$ of the projected stated ${\rm SL}_n$-skein algebra…
The Kauffman bracket skein modules, S(M,A), have been calculated for A=+1,-1, for all 3-manifolds M by relating them to the SL(2,C)-character varieties. We extend this description to the case when A is a 4-th root of 1 and M is either a…
The skein module for a d-dimensional manifold is a vector space spanned by embedded framed graphs decorated by a category A with suitable extra structure depending on the dimension d, modulo local relations which hold inside d-balls. For a…
We propose a skein model for the quantum cluster algebras of surface type with coefficients. We introduce a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\Sigma,\mathbb{W}}^{A}$ of a walled surface $(\Sigma,\mathbb{W})$, and prove that it has a quantum…
An S-fold has played an important role in constructing supersymmetric field theories with interesting features. It can be viewed as a type of AdS_4 solutions of Type IIB string theory where the fields in overlapping patches are glued by…
Given a Heegaard splitting of a closed 3-manifold, the skein modules of the two handlebodies are modules over the skein algebra of their common boundary surface. The zeroth Hochschild homology of the skein algebra of a surface with…
