HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links in the three-sphere

چکیده
For a ring R, we denote by R[L] the free R-module spanned by the isotopy classes of singular links in S. Given two invertible elements x, t ∈ R, the HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links in S (relative to the triple (R, t, x)) is the quotient of R[L] by local relations, called skein relations, that involve t and x. We compute the HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links for any R such that (t−1 − t + x) and (t−1 − t − x) are invertible. In particular, we deduce the Conway skein module of singular links.

The Homfly Polynomial for Links in Rational Homology 3-spheres
We construct a polynomial invariant, for links in a large class of rational homology 3-spheres, which generalizes the 2-variable Jones polynomial (HOMFLY). As a consequence, we show that the dual of the HOMFLY skein module of a homotopy 3-sphere is isomorpic to that of the genuine 3-sphere .

متن کاملHOMFLYPT Skein module of singular links
This paper is a presentation, where we compute the HOMFLYPT Skein module of singular links in the 3-sphere. This calculation is based on some results previously proved by Rabenda and the author on Markov traces on singular Hecke algebras, as well as on classical techniques that allow to pass from the framework of Markov traces on Hecke algebras to the framework of HOMFLYPT Skein modules. Some o...
متن کاملSkein Modules of Links in Cylinders over Surfaces
We define the Conway skein module (M) of ordered based links in a 3-manifold M . This module gives rise to (M)-valued invariants of usual links in M . We determine a basis of the Z[z]-module (Σ× [0,1])/Tor( (Σ× [0,1])), where Σ is the real projective plane or a surface with boundary. For cylinders over the Möbius strip or the projective plane, we derive special properties of the Conway skein mo...
