Traczyk's infinite-generation conjecture for skein modules of simply connected 3-manifolds

About 30 years old · traced to

Let MM be a simply connected 33-manifold, possibly with holes, and let S2,∞(M)S_{2,\infty}(M) denote its Kauffman bracket skein module at parameter 22 and infinity. Traczyk's conjecture. If MM is other than S3S^3, then S2,∞(M)S_{2,\infty}(M) is infinitely generated. This conjecture contrasts with the finite-generation result for small 33-manifolds established in the surrounding discussion; its status is not determined by the supplied text.
