A basis for the Kauffman skein module of the product of a surface and a circle

Renaud Detcherry and Maxime Wolff

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 21 (2021) 2959–2993
Abstract

The Kauffman bracket skein module 𝒮(M) of a 3–manifold M is a (A)–vector space spanned by links in M modulo the so-called Kauffman relations. For any closed oriented surface Σ we provide an explicit spanning family for the skein modules 𝒮(Σ × S1). Combined with earlier work of Gilmer and Masbaum (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 147 (2019) 4091–4106), we answer their question about the dimension of 𝒮(Σ × S1) being 22g+1 + 2g 1.
