A polynomial invariant for links in lens spaces

Christopher Cornwell

Published 2010-02-08, updated 2012-02-01Version 3

We prove the existence of a polynomial invariant that satisfies the HOMFLY skein relation for links in a lens space. In the process we also develop a skein theory of toroidal grid diagrams in a lens space.
