Presentation conjecture for the skein algebra of a surface

Let Σ\Sigma be the surface under consideration, let Γˉ(Σ)\bar{\Gamma}(\Sigma) be the extended mapping class group, and let A(Γ(Σ))\mathcal{A}(\Gamma(\Sigma)) be the quotient algebra defined from a presentation of Γˉ(Σ)\bar{\Gamma}(\Sigma) and its action on the skein algebra. The skein algebra is denoted by S(Σ,Q(A))\mathcal{S}(\Sigma,\mathbb{Q}(A)). Presentation conjecture. There exists a presentation of Γˉ(Σ)\bar{\Gamma}(\Sigma) for which

A(Γ(Σ))S(Σ,Q(A))\mathcal{A}(\Gamma(\Sigma))\cong\mathcal{S}(\Sigma,\mathbb{Q}(A))

as noncommutative Q(A)\mathbb{Q}(A)-algebras. The preceding corollary gives a canonical surjection from A(Γ(Σ))\mathcal{A}(\Gamma(\Sigma)) onto the skein algebra; the conjecture asserts that a suitable presentation makes this surjection an isomorphism.
