Higher Skein Modules, II

by:

Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen

Vladimir Turaev

In our previous paper 'Higher Skein Modules' we introduced a notion of higher Conway skein modules of links. In this paper we introduce higher Homfly skein modules of links in an oriented 3-manifold and partially compute them in terms of the first skein module.
