Abstract: We compare two natural bases for the invariant space of a tensor product of irreducible representations of A_2, or sl(3). One basis is the web basis, defined from a skein theory called the combinatorial A_2 spider. The other basis is the dual canonical basis, the dual of the basis defined by Lusztig and Kashiwara. For sl(2) or A_1, the web bases have been discovered many times and were recently shown to be dual canonical by Frenkel and Khovanov. We prove that for sl(3), the two bases eventually diverge even though they agree in many small cases. The first disagreement comes in the invariant space Inv((V^+ tensor V^+ tensor V^- tensor V^-)^{tensor 3}), where V^+ and V^- are the two 3-dimensional representations of sl(3). If the tensor factors are listed in the indicated order, only 511 of the 512 invariant basis vectors coincide.

Review text

There are two natural bases for the invariant space of a tensor product of irreducible representations for simple Lie algebras of small rank. One is called the web basis that is defined through a skein theory. The other is the dual canonical basis defined by Lusztig and Kashiwara. In case of \(sl(2)\), \textit{I. B. Frenkel} and \textit{M. G. Khovanov} proved that the web basis is dual canonical [Duke Math. J. 87, 409-480 (1997; Zbl 0883.17013)]. In this paper, the authors show that these two bases are not equivalent for \(sl(3)\) in a certain example.
