Abstract: Diagram algebras (e.g. graded braid groups, Hecke algebras, Brauer algebras) arise as tensor power centralizer algebras, algebras of commuting operators for a Lie algebra action on a tensor space. This work explores centralizers of the action of a complex reductive Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

on tensor space of the form

M o t i m e s N o t i m e s V^{o t i m e s k}

. We define the degenerate two-boundary braid algebra

m a t h c a l G_{k}

and show that centralizer algebras contain quotients of this algebra in a general setting. As an example, we study in detail the combinatorics of special cases corresponding to Lie algebras

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

and

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

and modules

M

and

N

indexed by rectangular partitions. For this setting, we define the degenerate extended two-boundary Hecke algebra

m a t h c a l H_{k}^{m a t h r m e x t}

as a quotient of

m a t h c a l G_{k}

, and show that a quotient of

m a t h c a l H_{k}^{m a t h r m e x t}

is isomorphic to a large subalgebra of the centralizer. We further study the representation theory of

m a t h c a l H_{k}^{m a t h r m e x t}

to find that the seminormal representations are indexed by a known family of partitions. The bases for the resulting modules are given by paths in a lattice of partitions, and the action of

m a t h c a l H_{k}^{m a t h r m e x t}

is given by combinatorial formulas.

Review text

The author studies the centralizers of the action of a complex reductive Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) on tensor space of the form \(M\otimes N\otimes V^{\otimes k}\). She defines the degenerate two-boundary braid algebra \(G_k\) and shows that centralizer algebras contain quotients of this algebra in a general setting. As an example, she studies in detail the combinatorics of special cases corresponding to Lie algebras \(\mathfrak{gl}_n\) and \(\mathfrak{sl}_n\) and modules \(M\) and \(N\) indexed by rectangular partitions. Furthermore, she studies the representation theory of \(\mathcal H_k^{\text{ext}}\) to find that the seminormal representations are indexed by a known family of partitions. The bases for the resulting modules are given by paths in a lattice of partitions, and the action of \(\mathcal H_k^{\text{ext}}\) is given by combinatorial formulas.
