The Kauffman bracket skein module of two-bridge links
Abstract
We calculate the Kauffman bracket skein module (KBSM) of the complement of all two-bridge links. For a two-bridge link, we show that the KBSM of its complement is free over the ring [t 1] and when reducing t=-1, it is isomorphic to the ring of regular functions on the character variety of the link group.
