Let $(M,\mathcal{N})$ be a marked 3-manifold. We use $S_n(M,\mathcal{N},v)$ to denote the stated $SL_n$-skein module of $(M,\mathcal{N})$ where $v$ is a nonzero complex number. We establish a surjective algebra homomorphism from…
For a pb surface $\Sigma$, two positive integers $m,n$ with $m\mid n$, and two invertible elements $v,\epsilon$ in a commutative domain $R$ with $\epsilon^{2m} = 1$, we construct an $R$-linear isomorphism between the stated $SL_n$-skein…
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…
We develop a theory of stated SL(n)-skein modules, $S_n(M,N),$ of 3-manifolds $M$ marked with intervals $N$ in their boundaries. They consist of linear combinations of $n$-webs with ends in $N$, considered up to skein relations inspired by…
We give a survey of some old and new results about the stated skein modules/algebras of 3-manifolds/surfaces. For generic quantum parameter, we discuss the splitting homomorphism for the 3-manifold case, general structures of the stated…
For any marked three manifold $(M,\mathcal N)$ and any quantum parameter $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$ (a nonzero complex number), we use $\mathscr{S}_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N})$ to denote the stated skein module of $(M,\mathcal{N})$. When…
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…
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…
We construct a quantum Frobenius map for the $SL_3$ skein module of any oriented 3-manifold specialized at a root of unity, and describe the map by way of threading certain polynomials along links. The homomorphism is a higher rank version…
We study the behaviour of the Kauffman bracket skein modules of 3-manifolds under gluing along surfaces. For this purpose we extend the notion of Kauffman bracket skein modules to $3$-manifolds with marking consisting of open intervals and…
The ${\rm SL}_3$-skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\bar{q}}(\mathfrak{S})$ of a punctured oriented surface $\mathfrak{S}$ is a quantum deformation of the coordinate algebra of the ${\rm SL}_3$-character variety of $\mathfrak{S}$. When $\bar{q}$…
When the quantum parameter $q^{1/2}$ is a root of unity of odd order. The stated skein module $S_{q^{1/2}}(M,\mathcal{N})$ has an $S_{1}(M,\mathcal{N})$-module structure, where $(M,\mathcal{N})$ is a marked three manifold. We prove…
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…
Frobenius extensions play a central role in the link homology theories based upon the sl(n) link variants, and each of these Frobenius extensions may be recast geometrically via a category of marked cobordisms in the manner of Bar-Natan.…
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…
This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…
Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $Dist(SL_2)$ be the algebra of distributions, supported at $1$, on the algebraic group $SL_2$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$. The Frobenius map $Fr:SL_2\to SL_2$ induces a map $Fr:Dist(SL_2)\to Dist(SL_2)$ which is…
This paper introduces an algebra structure on the part of the skein module of an arbitrary $3$-manifold $M$ spanned by links that represent $0$ in $H_1(M;\mathbb{Z}_2)$ when the value of the parameter used in the Kauffman bracket skein…
The ${\rm SL}_n$-skein algebra of a punctured surface $\mathfrak{S}$, studied by Sikora, is an algebra generated by isotopy classes of $n$-webs living in the thickened surface $\mathfrak{S} \times (-1,1)$, where an $n$-web is a union of…
