The finiteness conjecture for skein modules

Published 14 Aug 2019 in math.QA, math.GT, and math.RT | (1908.05233v4)

Abstract: We give a new, algebraically computable formula for skein modules of closed 3-manifolds via Heegaard splittings. As an application, we prove that skein modules of closed 3-manifolds are finite-dimensional, resolving in the affirmative a conjecture of Witten.
