Abstract
We generalize BonahonâWong's SL2(C)-quantum trace map to the setting of SL3(C). More precisely, given a non-zero complex parameter q=e2Ïiħ, we associate to each isotopy class of framed oriented links K in a thickened punctured surface SĂ(0,1) a Laurent polynomial Trλq(K)=Trλq(K)(Xiq) in q-deformations Xiq of the FockâGoncharov X-coordinates for higher TeichmĂŒller space. This construction depends on a choice λ of ideal triangulation of the surface S. Along the way, we propose a definition for a SLn(C)-version of this invariant.
