DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/GOATS/6/">Fr
 amings of Links in 3-manifolds and Torsion in Skein Modules</a>\nby Rhea P
 alak Bakshi (The George Washington University) as part of GOATS\n\n\nAbstr
 act\nWe show that the only way of changing the framing of a link by ambien
 t isotopy in an oriented \n3-manifold is when the manifold admits a proper
 ly embedded non-separating $S^2$\n. This change of framing is given by the
  Dirac trick\, also known as the light bulb trick. The main tool we use is
  based on McCullough’s work on the mapping class groups of \n3-manifolds
 . We also express our results in the language of skein modules. In particu
 lar\, we relate our results to the framing skein module and the Kauffman b
 racket skein module.\n
