Diagrams and Reidemeister moves for links in orientable Seifert manifolds are introduced. Using these diagrams, we compute the Kauffman bracket skein modules of prism manifolds with first homology of order 4. In particular, we show that these modules are free.
Abstract. Diagrams and Reidemeister moves for links in a twisted S 1 -bundle over an unorientable surface are introduced. Using these diagrams, we compute the Kauffman Bracket Skein Module (KBSM) of RP 3 ♯RP 3 . In particular, we show that it has torsion. We also present a new computation of the KBSM of S 1 × S 2 and the lens spaces L(p, 1).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
