Abstract

Abstract. This talk is about diagram algebras which come from the two-boundary braid group (braids with two poles). This is a generalization of recent work (from statistical mechanics) on two-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebras. The generalized setting naturally includes two boundary Hecke algebras and two-boundary BMW algebras. These algebras are like affine Hecke algebras (of type A) and affine BMW algebras except with two poles.

The affine braid group k of type SO2k.

Generators:Ti= i i+1 , for1ik, X0= andXk= and relations X0 T1 T2 Tk-2 Tk-1 Xk where gi = gi, if gi gj gigjgi = gjgigj, if gi gj gigjgigj = gjgigjgi, if gi gj

Let Xεi= i andXλ= (Xε1)λ1 (Xε2)λ2 (Xεk)λk for λ=λ1ε1++λkεk. Then X={Xλ|λL}, whereL=i=1k εi, is an abelian subgroup of k.

  Xεi= i i and g1= andg2= generate a free group on two generators.

Quotients

(1) The affine braid group of type GLk is k with Xk=1.
(2) The braid group is k with X0=1 and Xk=1.
(3) The two pole Hecke algebra Hk is k with - =(q-q-1)
(4) The two pole Temperley-Lieb algebra is k with defined by =q- and relations (3) and = and =
(5) The two pole BMW algebra is k with defined by - =(q-q-1) ( - ) and relations (4) and = z-z-1q-q-1 +1, =z , =z-1
(6) The two boundary BMW algebra 𝒵k is k with relations (5) and = = =z-1· and b =ε1(b)· ,whereε1(b) .
(7) The two boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra 𝒯k is k with relations X02=(s-s-1) X0+1, Xk2=(t-t-1) Xk+1, and (3), (4) and (6).

Cyclotomic algebras

Let I1 be an ideal of 1 such that C1=1I1 is finite dimensional. The cyclotomic BMW algebra and the cyclotomic Hecke algebra are CBk= BkI1 andCHk= HkI1, respectively. Let I=ideal ofCBk generated by Then CBkI CHkand CBk-1CBk-2CBk-1 I b1b2 b1 b2 1 k Hence any simple CBk-module is

(a) an CHk-module or
(b) an inflation of a CBk-2-module.
All finite dimensional simple Bk-modules appear this way.

-matrices

Let U be a quasitriangular Hopf algebra:

(1) If M and N are U-modules then MN is a U-module,
(2) There are natural U-module isomorphisms ŘMN: MNNM M N N M such that M(NP) (NP)M = M N P P N M and (MN)P P(MN) = M N P P N M Let M1,M2 and V be U-modules. Then kacts onM1 VkM2 since M1 V V V V V V V M2 EndU (M1VkM2).

Schur functors

Let U be a quantum group: U=U<0U0U>0 with U>0generated by raising operatorsE1,,En U<0generated by lowering operatorsF1,,Fn 𝒰0= [K1±1,,Kn±1]. Let M be a U-module and λ:𝒰0,a character of𝒰0. A highest weight vector of weight λ is mM with Kim=λ(Ki)m andEim=0. Then (M1VkM2)λ+= {highest weight vectors of weightλinM1VkM2} is a k-module.

(M1VkM2)λ+= HomU(M(λ),M1VkM2) where M(λ) is a Verma module, and the general Schur functors are Exti(M(λ),M1VkM2).

Examples

(1) If U=Uq𝔤𝔩n and V=L(ε1) (V simple, dimV=n) then M1VkM2 is an Hk-module.
(2) If U=U1𝔰𝔬n or U=Uq𝔰𝔭n and V=L(ω1) (V simple, dimV=n), M1𝒪[λ], M2𝒪[μ] (Z(U) acts by constants) then M1VkM2 is a 𝒵k module.
(3) If U=U1𝔰𝔩2, V=L(ω1) (V simple, dimV=2), M1𝒪[λ], M2𝒪[μ] (Z(U) acts by constants) then M1VkM2 is a 𝒯k module.
