On endomorphisms of quantum tensor space

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give a presentation of the endomorphism algebra EndcUq(fsl2)(Votimesr), where V is the 3-dimensional irreducible module for quantum fsl2 over the function field C(q1/2). This will be as a quotient of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra BMWr(q):=BMWr(q−4,q2−q−2) by an ideal generated by a single idempotent Phiq. Our presentation is in analogy with the case where V is replaced by the 2- dimensional irreducible cUq(fsl2)-module, the BMW algebra is replaced by the Hecke algebra Hr(q) of type Ar−1, Phiq is replaced by the quantum alternator in H3(q), and the endomorphism algebra is the classical realisation of the Temperley-Lieb algebra on tensor space. In particular, we show that all relations among the endomorphisms defined by the R-matrices on Votimesr are consequences of relations among the three R-matrices acting on Votimes4. The proof makes extensive use of the theory of cellular algebras. Potential applications include the decomposition of tensor powers when q is a root of unity.
