Abstract: Braid matrices hatR(heta), corresponding to vector representations, are spectrally decomposed obtaining a ratio fi(heta)/fi(−heta) for the coefficient of each projector Pi appearing in the decomposition. This directly yields a factorization (F(−heta))−1F(heta) for the braid matrix, implying also the relation hatR(−heta)hatR(heta)=I.This is achieved for GLq(n),SOq(2n+1),SOq(2n),Spq(2n) for all n and also for various other interesting cases including the 8-vertex matrix.We explain how the limits hetaopminfty can be interpreted to provide factorizations of the standard (non-Baxterized) braid matrices. A systematic approach to diagonalization of projectors and hence of braid matrices is presented with explicit constructions for GLq(2),GLq(3),SOq(3),SOq(4),Spq(4) and various other cases such as the 8-vertex one. For a specific nested sequence of projectors diagonalization is obtained for all dimensions. In each factor F(heta) our diagonalization again factors out all dependence on the spectral parameter heta as a diagonal matrix. The canonical property implemented in the diagonalizers is mutual orthogonality of the rows. Applications of our formalism to the construction of L−operators and transfer matrices are indicated. In an Appendix our type of factorization is compared to another one proposed by other authors.
