Defects in skein theory and TQFT
Patrick Kinnear, Ingo Runkel
Given a 3-manifold with a network of line and point defects in its boundary, we define the skein module of this configuration, generalizing the well-studied case of 3-manifolds…

Skein module dimensions of mapping tori of the 2-torus
Patrick Kinnear
We determine the dimension of the Kauffman bracket skein module at generic for mapping tori of the 2-torus, generalising the well-known computation of Carrega and Gilmer. In th…
