Title: Skein algebras of surfaces
 
Abstract:

We show that the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of any oriented surface F has no zero-divisors and that its center is generated by knots parallel to the boundary of F.
Furthermore, we generalize the notion of skein algebras to skein algebras of marked surfaces and we prove analogous results them.
