Abstract:
We compute two-term skein modules of framed oriented links in oriented  -manifolds. They contain the self-writhe and total linking number invariants of framed oriented links in a universal way. The relations in a natural presentation of the skein module are interpreted as monodromies in the space of immersions of circles into the  -manifold.
