Abstract
In this survey paper we present results about link diagrams in Seifert manifolds using arrow diagrams, starting with link diagrams in \(F\times S^1\) and \(N\hat{\times }S^1\), where F is an orientable and N an unorientable surface. Reidemeister moves for such arrow diagrams make the study of link invariants possible. Transitions between arrow diagrams and alternative diagrams are presented. We recall results about the Kauffman bracket and HOMFLYPT skein modules of some Seifert manifolds using arrow diagrams, namely lens spaces, a product of a disk with two holes times \(S^1\), \(\mathbb {R}P^3 \# \mathbb {R}P^3\), and prism manifolds. We also present new bases of the Kauffman bracket and HOMFLYPT skein modules of the solid torus and lens spaces.
