The partial Temperley-Lieb algebra and its representations (Q6060952)

Summary: In this paper, we give a combinatorial description of a new diagram algebra, the partial Temperley-Lieb algebra, arising as the generic centralizer algebra \(\mathrm{End}_{\mathcal{U}_q (\mathfrak{gl}_2)} (V^{\otimes k})\), where \(V=V(0) \oplus V(1)\) is the direct sum of the trivial and natural module for the quantized enveloping algebra \(\mathcal{U}_q (\mathfrak{gl}_2)\). It is a proper subalgebra of the Motzkin algebra (the \(\mathcal{U}_q (\mathfrak{sl}_2)\)-centralizer) of \textit{G. Benkart} and \textit{T. Halverson} [Eur. J. Comb. 36, 473--502 (2014; Zbl 1284.05333)]. We prove a version of Schur-Weyl duality for the new algebras, and describe their generic representation theory.
