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 coefficients in the tensor product of the skein modules of two handlebodies is interpreted as the skein module of the 3-manifold obtained by gluing the two handlebodies together along this surface. A spectral sequence associated to the Hochschild complex is constructed and conditions are given for the existence of algebraic torsion in the completion of the skein module of this 3-manifold.

Let [Formula: see text] be a nonzero complex number which is not a root of unity. Let [Formula: see text] be a compact oriented surface, the [Formula: see text]-skein space of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], is the vector space over [Formula: see text] generated by framed oriented links (including framed oriented trivalent graphs in [Formula: see text]) quotient by the [Formula: see text]-skein relations due to Kuperberg [Spiders for rank [Formula: see text] Lie algebra, Comm. Math. Phys. 180(1) (1996) 109–151]. For closed [Formula: see text], with genus greater than [Formula: see text], we construct a local diffeomorphism invariant trace on [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a positive real number not equal to [Formula: see text].

One Relator Groups

We prove that the character variety of a family of one-relator groups has only one defining polynomial and we provide the means to compute it. Consequently, we give a basis for the Kauffman bracket skein module of the exterior of the rational link Lp/q of two components modulo the (A + 1)-torsion.

We extend the Jones polynomial for links in S3 to links in L(p, q), p>0. Specifically, we show that the (2, ∞)-skein module of L(p, q) is free with [p/2]+1 generators. In the case of S1×S2 the skein module is infinitely generated.

To any orientable 3-manifold one can associate a module, called the (2, ∞)-skein module, which is essentially a generalization of the Jones polynomial of links in S3. For an uncountable collection of open contractible 3-manifolds, each constructed in a fashion similar to the classic Whitehead manifold, we prove that their (2, ∞)-skein modules are infinitely generated, torsion free, but not free. These examples stand in stark contrast to [Formula: see text], whose (2, ∞)-skein module is free on one generator. To each of these manifolds we associate a subgroup G of the rationals which may be interpreted via wrapping numbers. We show that the skein module of M has a natural filtration by modules indexed by G. For the specific case of the Whitehead manifold, we describe its (2, ∞)-skein module and associated filtration in greater detail.
