The quantized walled Brauer algebra and mixed tensor space

Abstract: In this paper we investigate a multi-parameter deformation

m a t h f r a k B_{r, s}^{n} (a, l a m b d a, d e l t a)

of the walled Brauer algebra which was previously introduced by Leduc (cite{leduc}). We construct an integral basis of

m a t h f r a k B_{r, s}^{n} (a, l a m b d a, d e l t a)

consisting of oriented tangles which is in bijection with walled Brauer diagrams. Moreover, we study a natural action of

m a t h f r a k B_{r, s}^{n} (q) = m a t h f r a k B_{r, s}^{n} (q^{- 1} - q, q^{n}, [n]_{q})

on mixed tensor space and prove that the kernel is free over the ground ring

R

of rank independent of

R

. As an application, we prove one side of Schur--Weyl duality for mixed tensor space: the image of

m a t h f r a k B_{r, s}^{n} (q)

in the

R

-endomorphism ring of mixed tensor space is, for all choices of

R

and the parameter

q

, the endomorphism algebra of the action of the (specialized via the Lusztig integral form) quantized enveloping algebra

m a t h b f U

of the general linear Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k {g l}_{n}

on mixed tensor space. Thus, the

m a t h b f U

-invariants in the ring of

R

-linear endomorphisms of mixed tensor space are generated by the action of

m a t h f r a k B_{r, s}^{n} (q)

.
