Skein Quantization and Lattice Gauge Field Theory
Doug Bullock, Charles Frohman, Joanna Kania-Bartoszynska
This is a survey article describing the various ways in which the Kauffman bracket skein module is a quantization of surface group characters. These include a purely heuristic sens…

Understanding the Kauffman bracket skein module
Doug Bullock, Charles Frohman, Joanna Kania-Bartoszynska
The Kauffman bracket skein module of a 3-manifold is defined over formal power series in the variable by letting . For a compact oriented surface , it…
