Abstract: The Kauffman bracket skein module S(M) of a 3-manifold M is a mathbbQ(A)-vector space spanned by links in M modulo the so-called Kauffman relations. In this article, for any closed oriented surface Sigma we provide an explicit spanning family for the skein modules S(SigmaimesS1). Combined with earlier work of Gilmer and Masbaum, we answer their question about the dimension of S(SigmaimesS1) being 22g+1+2g1.
