Unicity for representations of reduced stated skein algebras (Q2661723)

The author proves that representations of stated skein algebras and their reduced versions at odd roots of unity are affine almost-Azumaya and he computes the rank of a reduced stated skein algebra over its center. This result extends to the case of punctured surfaces with nonempty boundary a theorem of \textit{C. Frohman} et al. [Invent. Math. 215, No. 2, 609--650 (2019; Zbl 1491.57014), Trans. Am. Math. Soc., Ser. B 8, 510--547 (2021; Zbl 1486.57023)] (in which the notion of almost-Azumaya algebra originates). As a corollary, the author obtains that generic irreducible representations of the reduced stated skein algebras are of quantum Teichmüller type and, conversely, that generic quantum Teichmüller type representations are irreducible. He also constructs suitable valuations on the reduced stated skein algebras derived from the quantum trace.
