Type C skein modules and transparent elements
Abstract
Abstract We study skein modules using webs. We define multivariable analogues of Chebyshev polynomials in the Type setting and use them to construct transparent elements in the skein module at roots of unity. Our arguments are diagrammatic and make use of an explicit braiding formula for 1 and labeled strands and an analogue of Kuperberg's tetravalent vertex in the annular setting.
