The Kauffman bracket skein module of two-bridge links
arXiv:1111.0332
Abstract
We calculate the Kauffman bracket skein module (KBSM) of the complement of all two-bridge links. For a two-bridge link, we show that the KBSM of its complement is free over the ring $\BC[t^{\pm 1}]$ and when reducing , it is isomorphic to the ring of regular functions on the character variety of the link group.
