We give an SL3 analogue of the triangular decomposition of the Kauffman bracket stated skein algebras described by Le. To any bordered punctured surface, we associate an SL3 stated skein algebra which contains the SL3 skein algebra of closed webs. These algebras admit natural algebra morphisms associated to the splitting of surfaces along ideal arcs. We give an explicit basis for the SL3 stated skein algebra and show that the splitting morphisms are injective and describe their images. By splitting a surface along the edges of an ideal triangulation, we see that the SL3 stated skein algebra of any ideal triangulable surface embeds into a tensor product of stated skein algebras of triangles.

stated skein algebra of any ideal triangulable surface embeds into a tensor product of stated skein algebras of triangles. As applications, we prove that the stated skein algebras do not have zero divisors, we construct Frobenius maps at roots of unity, and we obtain a new proof that Kuperberg's web relations generate the kernel of the Reshetikhin–Turaev functor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
