On the Kauffman bracket skein modules, the Jones polynomial and the A-polynomial
by

We calculate the Kaugmann Kracket Skein Module of complements of 2-bridge knots
and prove the AJ conjecture for a large class of 2-bridge knots.
The AJ conjecture (of Garoufalidis) says that the recursion polynomial of the colored Jones
function, when reduced q=1, is equal to the A-polynomial.
