Skein modules of 3-manifolds

摘要: It is natural to try place the new polynomial invariants of links in algebraic topology (e.g. interpret them using homology or homotopy groups). However, one can think that these are byproducts a more delicate invariant 3-manifolds which measures obstruction isotopy (which homotopic). We propose such an based on skein theory introduced by Conway (1969) and developed Giller (1982) as well Lickorish Millett (1987). (This first paper I wrote about modules, almost 20 years ago. The recent survey modules available at this http URL)
