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 the 3d quantum trace map, a homomorphism from the Kauffman bracket skein module of an ideally triangulated 3-manifold to its (square root) quantum gluing module, thereby giving a precise relationship between the two…

We mainly focus on Classical limit, Splitting map, and Frobenius homomorphism for stated $SL(n)$-skein modules, and Unicity Theorem for stated $SL(n)$-skein algebras. Let $(M,N)$ be a marked three manifold. We use $S_n(M,N,v)$ to denote the…

We investigate aspects of Kauffman bracket skein algebras of surfaces and modules of 3-manifolds using quantum torus methods. These methods come in two flavors: embedding the skein algebra into a quantum torus related to quantum Teichmuller…

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…

In earlier work, Helen Wong and the author discovered certain "miraculous cancellations" for the quantum trace map connecting the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface to its quantum Teichmueller space, occurring when the quantum…

To any graded Frobenius algebra A we associate a sequence of graded Frobenius algebras A^[n] in such a way that for any smooth projective surface X with trivial canonical divisor there is a canonical isomorphism of rings between (H*X)^[n]…

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 this paper we study the skein modules of the surfaces, $\Sigma_{i,j}$ $(i,j)\in \{(0,2),(0,3),(1,0),(1,1)\}$ at $2N$-th roots of unity where $N\geq 3$ is an odd counting number and construct Frobenius algebras from them.

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…

Fock-Goncharov's moduli spaces $\mathscr{X}_{{\rm PGL}_3,\frak{S}}$ of framed ${\rm PGL}_3$-local systems on punctured surfaces $\frak{S}$ provide prominent examples of cluster $\mathscr{X}$-varieties and higher Teichm\"uller spaces. In a…

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.…

We study finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface S. In particular, we construct invariants of such irreducible representations when the underlying parameter q is a root of unity. The main one of these…

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 define a quantum trace map from the skein module of a 3-manifold with torus boundary components to a module (left and right quotient of a quantum torus) constructed from an ideal triangulation. Our map is a 3-dimensional version of the…

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…

We develop skein theory for 3-manifolds in the presence of codimension-one defects, focusing especially on defects arising from parabolic induction/restriction for quantum groups. We use these defects as a model for the quantum decorated…

We prove that quantized multiplicative quiver varieties and quantum character varieties define sheaves of Azumaya algebras over the corresponding classical moduli spaces, and we prove that the Azumaya locus of the Kauffman bracket skein…

Motivated by the Quantum Modularity Conjecture and its arithmetic aspects related to the Habiro ring of a number field, we define a map from the Kauffman bracket skein module of an integer homology 3-sphere to the Habiro ring, and use…
