Abstract

In this paper we give an alternative basis, \(\mathscr {B}_\mathrm{ST}\), for the Kauffman bracket skein module of the solid torus, \(\mathrm{KBSM}\left( \mathrm{ST}\right) \). The basis \(\mathscr {B}_\mathrm{ST}\) is obtained with the use of the Tempereley–Lieb algebra of type B and it is appropriate for computing the Kauffman bracket skein module of the lens spaces L(pq) via braids.
