Abstract: We determine the representations of the Yokonuma-Temperley-Lieb algebra, which is defined as a quotient of the Yokonuma-Hecke algebra by generalising the construction of the classical Temperley-Lieb algebra. We then deduce the dimension of this algebra, and produce an explicit basis for it.


The first main result in this paper is the determination of an indexing set for the irreducible modules of the \textit{Yokonuma-Temperley-Lieb algebra}, \(\text{YTL}_{d,n}(u)\), as defined in [\textit{D. Goundaroulis} et al., Banach Cent. Publ. 103, 77-99 (2014; Zbl 1336.57007)] as a quotient of the \textit{Yokonuma-Hecke algebra}, an algebra which has been studied recently by the first author and others in, for example, [\textit{M. Chlouveraki} and \textit{L. Poulain d'Andecy}, Adv. Math. 259, 134-172 (2014; Zbl 1293.20007)]. The algebra \(\text{YTL}_{d,n}(u)\) is a higher level generalisation of the classical Temperley-Lieb algebra, which can be defined as a quotient of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group. To obtain the result, the authors first use Tits's deformation theorem and a simple observation which reduces the problem to examining restrictions of the simple modules for \(G(d,1,n)\) from the complex reflection group \(G(d,1,n)\) to the symmetric group \(\mathfrak S_n\). The indexing set for the irreducibles then follows from a lemma concerning Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. The authors then proceed with the second main result of the paper, which is a calculation of the dimension and an explicit basis of \(\text{YTL}_{d,n}(u)\). The dimension follows cleanly from the previous results and the dimension formula for the classical Temperley-Lieb algebra. Producing a basis for the algebra takes more work. The authors first produce a spanning set for \(\text{YTL}_{d,n}(u)\) from a basis of the Yokonuma-Hecke algebra constructed by \textit{J. Juyumaya} [in J. Knot Theory Ramifications 13, No. 1, 25-39 (2004; Zbl 1100.20008)]. Finally, a lengthy series of results concerning relations in \(\text{YTL}_{d,n}(u)\) allows the authors to extract a basis from this spanning set. The paper is well written and very readable, with all the necessary background material introduced and explained clearly.
