    Using the observation that the lens space $L(p,q)$ is obtained by gluing two copies of the solid torus $ST$, one can show that the Homflypt skein module $\mathcal{S}(L(p,1))$ of $L(p,1)$ is a quotient of the Homflypt skein module $\mathcal{S}(ST)$ of $ST$. In previous papers the authors obtained a basis for $\mathcal{S}(ST)$ and showed that $\mathcal{S}(L(p,1))$ can be computed by solving an infinite system of equations in this basis. These equations result from band moves on braids in $ST$. In the present paper the authors give a detailed presentation of and expand on these previous results. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1387.00028].
