On the skein module of the product of a surface and a circle

Patrick M. Gilmer, Gregor Masbaum

Published 2018-04-16Version 1

Let Sigma be a closed oriented surface of genus g. We show that the Kauffman bracket skein module of Sigma x S^1 over the field of rational functions in A has dimension at least 2^{2g+1}+2g-1.
