On the Kauffman bracket skein module of surgery on a trefoil (Q1365131)

We estimate the rank of the Kauffman bracket skein module of each manifold obtained from integral surgery on a trefoil knot. It is well-known that all but two of these manifolds contain no incompressible surfaces. We find that the two exceptions are exactly those whose skein module is not finitely generated, thereby extending a pattern that holds for all known compact orientable examples.
