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(q4,q2q2) 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 Ar1, 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.
