Skein Algebras of Three-Manifolds at 4th Roots of Unity (2212.04558v2)

Published 8 Dec 2022 in math.GT and math.QA

Abstract: 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 relation is equal to $\pm {\bf i}$. It is proved that if $M$ has no $2$-torsion in $H_1(M;\mathbb{Z})$ then those algebras, $K{\pm {\bf i}}0(M)$, are naturally isomorphic to the corresponding algebras when the value of the parameter is $\pm 1$. This implies that the algebra $K_{\pm{\bf i}}0(M)$ is the unreduced coordinate ring of the variety of $PSL_2(\mathbb{C})$-characters of $\pi_1(M)$ that lift to $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$-representations.
