Abstract

In this paper, we compute the graph skein algebra of the punctured disk with two holes. Then, we apply the graph skein techniques developed here to establish necessary conditions for a spatial graph to have a symmetry of order p, where p is a prime. The obstruction criteria introduced here extend some results obtained earlier for symmetric spatial graphs.
