Handlebody diagram algebras (Q6172745)

A large collection of diagram algebras, such as Temperley-Lieb or (type A) Hecke algebras, are interesting from at least two perspectives, including in low-dimensional topology and representation theory. D. Tubbenhauer and P. Vaz study handlebody versions of some classical diagram algebras, most prominently, handlebody versions of Temperley-Lieb, Blob, Brauer, BMW, Hecke and Ariki-Koike algebras. Moreover, motivated by Green-Kazhdan-Lusztig's theory of cells, the authors reformulate the notion of (sandwich, inflated or affine) cellular algebras. They explain this reformulation and how all of the above algebras are part of this theory.
