초록

The Kauffman bracket skein module K_t(M) of a 3-manifold M becomes an algebra for t=-1. We prove that this algebra has no non-trivial nilpotent elements for M being the exterior of the twist knot in 3-sphere and, therefore, it is isomorphic to the SL_2(C)-character ring of the fundamental group of M. Our proof is based on some properties of Chebyshev polynomials.

Abstract

The Kauffman bracket skein module K_t(M) of a 3-manifold M becomes an algebra for t=-1. We prove that this algebra has no non-trivial nilpotent elements for M being the exterior of the twist knot in 3-sphere and, therefore, it is isomorphic to the SL_2(C)-character ring of the fundamental group of M. Our proof is based on some properties of Chebyshev polynomials.
