On skein modules at roots of unity
by
Thang Le
Geogia Institute of Technology

The Kauffman bracket skein modules (KBSM) of surfaces (or 3-manifolds) are important objects in low-dimensional topology.

KBSMs have connections to knot and 3-manifold invariants, TQFT, character varieties, quantum Teichmuller spaces etc.

I will discuss the center of the skein algebras at roots of unity and their positive bases.
