Representations of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the punctured torus

Coauthors: Jea-Pil Cho

We examine a family of representations of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the punctured torus on skein modules of the solid torus with marked points on the boundary. We show how the Reshetikhin-Turaev representation of the mapping class group of the punctured torus can be computed using these representations.
