Abstract
In this talk, we will continue the study of skein modules of 3-manifolds via quantum gauge theories. When the 3-manifold has reduced holonomy, this approach leads to an algorithm for the dimension of the skein module for a general gauge group, expressed as a sum over nilpotent orbits. Surprisingly, the dimensions obtained in this way often differ between Langlands-dual pairs.
