Presentations of the Roger-Yang generalized skein algebra (Q2059718): Difference between revisions

The Roger-Yang generalized skein algebra is a quantization of the decorated Teichmüller space. Its definition generalizes the construction of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra which was introduced independently by Turaev and Przytycki, based on Kauffman's skein-theoretic description of the Jones polynomial. The main result in the paper under review is a presentations of the Roger-Yang generalized skein algebras for punctured spheres with an arbitrary number of punctures. Such presentations were known for genus \(0\) with at most three punctures and for genus 1 with \(0\) or \(1\) puncture. At the same time, the authors obtain a new interpretation of the homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian of planes in terms of skein theory.
