Abstract
We study framed links in irreducible 3-manifolds that are -homology 3-spheres or atoroidal -homology 3-spheres. We calculate the dual of the Kauffman skein module over the ring of two variable power series with complex coefficients. For links in we give a new construction of the classical Kauffman polynomial.
