Relating Stated Skein Algebras and Internal Skein Algebras

We give an explicit correspondence between stated skein algebras, which are defined via explicit relations on stated tangles in [Costantino F., Lê T.T.Q., arXiv:1907.11400], and internal skein algebras, which are defined as internal endomorphism algebras in free cocompletions of skein categories in...

description We give an explicit correspondence between stated skein algebras, which are defined via explicit relations on stated tangles in [Costantino F., Lê T.T.Q., arXiv:1907.11400], and internal skein algebras, which are defined as internal endomorphism algebras in free cocompletions of skein categories in [Ben-Zvi D., Brochier A., Jordan D., J. Topol. 11 (2018), 874-917, arXiv:1501.04652] or in [Gunningham S., Jordan D., Safronov P., arXiv:1908.05233]. Stated skein algebras are defined on surfaces with multiple boundary edges, and we generalise internal skein algebras in this context. Now, one needs to distinguish between left and right boundary edges, and we explain this phenomenon on stated skein algebras using a half-twist. We prove excision properties of multi-edge internal skein algebras using excision properties of skein categories, and agree with excision properties of stated skein algebras when = q²(₂)-modᶠⁱⁿ. Our proofs are mostly based on skein theory, and we do not require the reader to be familiar with the formalism of higher categories.

I would like to thank my three advisors: Francesco Costantino for his guidance throughout the discovery of this subject and the editing of this article; Joan Bellier-Milles for all the time he spent on explanations, and David Jordan for his very helpful conversations and comments. I am grateful to Patrick Kinnear for his remarks and advice. I would also like to thank the anonymous referees for their exceptionally detailed feedback. This research took place in the Institut Mathématique de Toulouse and was supported by the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon.
