Abstract: We obtain the decomposition of the tensor space $mathfrak{sl}_n^{otimesk}$ as a module for $mathfrak{sl}_n$, find an explicit formula for the multiplicities of its irreducible summands, and (when $nge2k$) describe the centralizer algebra $C=En{d}_{mathfrak{sl}_n}(mathfrak{sl}_n^{otimesk})$ and its representations. The multiplicities of the irreducible summands are derangement numbers in several important instances, and the dimension of $C$ is given by the number of derangements of a set of $2k$ elements.

Review text

The authors decompose the tensor space \(\mathfrak{sl}_n^{\otimes k}\) as a module for \(\mathfrak{sl}_n\) and give an explicit combinatorial formula for the multiplicities of its irreducible summands. For \(n\geq 2k\) the centralizer algebra \(\mathcal{C}=\text{End}_{\mathfrak{sl}_n} (\mathfrak{sl}_n^{\otimes k})\) is described via the walled Brauer algebra. The dimension of \(\mathcal{C}\) is computed combinatorially in terms of derangement numbers (here derangement is a permutation with no fixed elements). These numbers also describe the multiplicities of irreducible summands in \(\mathfrak{sl}_n^{\otimes k}\) mentioned above.
