Irreducible representations of the party algebra

From MaRDI portal





Let \(G(r,1,k)\) be the group of \(k\times k\) monomial matrices whose nonzero entries are \(r\)th roots of unity. Let \(k\geq n\) and \(r>n\) and let \(G(r,1,k)\) act diagonally on the tensor power \(V^{\otimes n}\) of the \(k\)-dimensional vector space \(V\). The centralizer of this action has a realization as the party algebra \({\mathcal A}_n\). This algebra allows a nice graph theoretic construction in terms of seat plans, special kinds of partitions of two disjoint sets with \(n\) elements, see [\textit{M. Kosuda}, Ryukyu Math. J. 13, 7-22 (2000; Zbl 1013.05078)]. In the paper under review the author constructs a complete set of irreducible representations of the party algebra drawing the Bratteli diagram of the tower \({\mathcal A}_0\subset {\mathcal A}_1\subset\cdots\subset {\mathcal A}_n\) and defining the tableaux on it. It corresponds to Hoefsmit analogues of the Young seminormal representations of the symmetric group (see the well-known but never published Ph.D. Dissertation of Peter Hoefsmit at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, 1974).
