Generalized Temperley-Lieb algebras arise as certain quotients of Hecke algebras associated to Coxeter systems in the same way that the ordinary Temperley-Lieb algebra can be realized as a quotient of the Hecke algebra of type \(A\). In [Math. Res. Lett. 6, No. 2, 213-222 (1999; see the preceding review Zbl 0961.20007)], the authors of the present article show that a generalized Temperley-Lieb algebra arising from a Coxeter system of arbitrary type admits a canonical (more precisely, an \(IC\)) basis. Such a basis is analogous to the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis for a Hecke algebra. In the present article the relationship between the \(IC\) basis of a generalized Temperley-Lieb algebra and the corresponding Kazhdan-Lusztig basis is examined and it is shown in particular that in type \(B\) the projection of a certain natural subset of the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis agrees with the \(IC\) basis.
