Abstract: In cite{W}, there is a graphic description of any irreducible, finite dimensional mathfraksl(3) module. This construction, called diamond representation is very simple and can be easily extended to the space of irreducible finite dimensional mathcalUq(mathfraksl(3))-modules. In the present work, we generalize this construction to mathfraksl(n). We show this is in fact a description of the reduced shape algebra, a quotient of the shape algebra of mathfraksl(n). The basis used in cite{W} is thus naturally parametrized with the so called quasi standard Young tableaux. To compute the matrix coefficients of the representation in this basis, it is possible to use Groebner basis for the ideal of reduced Pl"{u}cker relations defining the reduced shape algebra.


In a previous paper, one of the authors, N. J. Wildberger, had introduced a new model for the irreducible representations of \(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(3)\). To this end, he had defined certain polytopes in three dimensional space, called diamonds, and used them to construct such representations. In the paper under review, the authors extend this method to get representations of \(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}(n)\) and show that the diamond cone module is a quotient of the shape algebra. They provide a number of examples and explicit computations.
