KBSM of the product of a disk with two holes and S1
Abstract
We introduce diagrams and Reidemeister moves for links in FxS1, where F is an orientable surface. Using these diagrams we compute (in a new way) the Kauffman Bracket Skein Modules (KBSM) for D2xS1 and AxS1, where D2 is a disk and A is an annulus. Moreover, we also find the KBSM for the F0,3xS1, where F0,3 denotes a disk with two holes, and thus show that the module is free.
