Conjecture on the trivial central-character skein module at roots of unity
Conjecture on the trivial central-character skein module at roots of unity
Let be an oriented closed -manifold, and let be a primitive -root of unity with odd. Let denote the skein module component associated with the trivial representation, and let be the relevant character space. For a knot , write for the Dehn filling of its exterior with slope .
Trivial-character skein-module conjecture. If is finite, then
Consequently, for verifying the source's condition and for almost all ,
where is the number of characters of counted with multiplicity.
The conjecture concerns the remaining trivial-central-character summand after the decomposition of the skein module. The supplied text states that this summand is not yet known, while the claimed consequence applies to almost all Dehn fillings and roots of unity under the stated hypotheses.
