Cellularity of Cyclotomic Birman--Wenzl--Murakami algebras

Decomposition matrices of Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras

In this paper, we calculate decomposition matrices of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras over $\mathbb C$.

Singular parameters for the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra

In this paper, we classify the singular parameters for the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra over an arbitrary field. Equivalently, we give a criterion for the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra being Morita equivalent to the direct sum of the Hecke algebras associated to certain symmetric groups.

Cyclotomic Birman--Wenzl--Murakami algebras, II: Admissibility Relations and Freeness

The cyclotomic Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebras are quotients of the affine BMW algebras in which the affine generator satisfies a polynomial relation. We study admissibility conditions on the ground ring for these algebras, and show that the algebras defined over an admissible integral ground ring $S$ are free $S$--modules and isomorphic to cyclotomic Kauffman tangle algebras. We also determine the representation theory in the generic semisimple case, obtain a recursive formula for the weights of the Markov trace, and give a sufficient condition for semisimplicity.

Inductive basis on Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras and (transverse) Markov traces

We construct a new inductive basis of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra. Using it, we provide a new proof of the existence of the Markov trace on the BMW algebras affording the two-variable Kauffman polynomial. We prove also that all the transverse Markov traces on the BMW algebras are determined by the self-linking number, the HOMFLY-PT polynomial and the two-variable Kauffman polynomial.

An Ariki-Koike like extension of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl Algebra

We introduce an Ariki-Koike like extension of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl Algebra and show it to be semi-simple. This algebra supports a faithful Markov trace that gives rise to link invariants of closures of Coxeter type B braids.

Skein construction of idempotents in Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras

We give skein theoretic formulas for minimal idempotents in the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras. These formulas are then applied to derive various known results needed in the construction of quantum invariants and modular categories. In particular, an elementary proof of the Wenzl formula for quantum dimensions is given. This proof does not use the representation theory of quantum groups and the character formulas.

On R-matrix representations of Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras

We show that to every local representation of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra defined by a skew-invertible R-matrix $R\in Aut(V\otimes V)$ one can associate pairings $V\otimes V\to C$ and $V^*\otimes V^*\to C$, where V is the representation space. Further, we investigate conditions under which the corresponding quantum group is of SO or Sp type.

Temperley-Lieb and Birman-Murakami-Wenzl like relations from multiplicity free semi-simple tensor system

In this article we consider conditions under which projection operators in multiplicity free semi-simple tensor categories satisfy Temperley-Lieb like relations. This is then used as a stepping stone to prove sufficient conditions for obtaining a representation of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra from a braided multiplicity free semi-simple tensor category. The results are found by utalising the data of the categories. There is considerable overlap with the results found in arXiv:1607.08908, where proofs are shown by manipulating diagrams.

Symmetries of spin systems and Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra

We consider integrable open spin chains related to the quantum affine algebras U_q(o(3)) and U_q(A_2^{(2)}). We discuss the symmetry algebras of these chains with the local C^3 space related to the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra. The symmetry algebra and the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra centralize each other in the representation space, and this defines the structure of the spin system spectra. Consequently, the corresponding multiplet structure of the energy spectra is obtained.

Incompressible representations of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra

We construct a representation of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra acting on a space of polynomials in n variables vanishing when three points coincide. These polynomials are closely related to the Pfaffian state of the Quantum Hall Effect and to the components the transfer matrix eigenvector of a O(n) crossing loop model.

The Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra, Hecke algebra and representations of U_{q}(osp(1|2n))

A representation of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra BW_{t}(-q^{2n},q) exists in the centraliser algebra End_{U_q(osp(1|2n))}(V^{\otimes t}), where V is the fundamental (2n+1)-dimensional irreducible U_{q}(osp(1|2n))-module. This representation is defined using permuted R-matrices acting on V^{\otimes t}. A complete set of projections onto and intertwiners between irreducible U_{q}(osp(1|2n))-summands of V^{\otimes t} exists via this representation, proving that End_{U_q(osp(1|2n))}V^{\otimes t}) is generated by the set of permuting R-matrices acting on V^{\otimes t}. We also show that a repr…

Temperley-Lieb, Birman-Murakami-Wenzl and Askey-Wilson algebras and other centralizers of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$

The centralizer of the image of the diagonal embedding of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ in the tensor product of three irreducible representations is examined in a Schur-Weyl duality spirit. The aim is to offer a description in terms of generators and relations. A conjecture in this respect is offered with the centralizers presented as quotients of the Askey-Wilson algebra. Support for the conjecture is provided by an examination of the representations of the quotients. The conjecture is also shown to be true in a number of cases thereby exhibiting in particular the Temperley-Lieb, Birman-Murakami-We…

The Cyclotomic Birman-Murakami-Wenzl Algebras

----- Please see the pdf file for the actual abstract and important remarks, which could not be put here due to the arXiv length restrictions. ----- This thesis presents a study of the cyclotomic BMW (Birman-Murakami-Wenzl) algebras, introduced by Haring-Oldenburg as a generalization of the BMW algebras associated with the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type G(k,1,n) (also known as Ariki-Koike algebras) and type B knot theory involving affine/cylindrical tangles. They are shown to be free of rank k^n (2n-1)!! and to have a topological realization as a certain cylindrical analogue of the Kauffman…

Affine Birman-Wenzl-Murakami Algebras and Tangles in the Solid Torus

The ordinary (or classical) Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebras were initially conceived as an algebraic framework for the Kauffman link invariant. They also appear as centralizer algebras for representations of quantum universal enveloping algebras of orthogonal or symplectic types. It was shown by Morton and Wassermann that the BMW algebras are isomorphic to algebras of tangles in (disc $\times$ interval), modulo Kauffman skein relations. This isomorphism allows one to see very clearly certain properties of the BMW algebras -- for example existence of Markov traces and conditional expectations an…

Markov traces on the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebras

We classify the Markov traces factoring through the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami (BMW) algebras. For this purpose, we define a common `cover' for the two variations of the BMW-algebra originating from the quantum orthogonal/symplectic duality, which are responsible for the so-called `Dubrovnik' variation of the Kauffman polynomial. For generic values of the defining parameters of the BMW algebra, this cover is isomorphic to the BMW algebra itself, and this fact provides a shorter defining relation for it, in the generic case. For a certain 1-dimensional family of special values however, it is a non-t…

The reduced Birman-Wenzl algebra of Coxeter type B

We introduce a reduced form of a Birman-Murakami-Wenzl Algebra associated to the braid group of Coxeter type B and investigate its semisimplicity, Bratteli diagram and Markov trace. Applications in knot theory and physics are outlined.

The cyclotomic BMW algebra associated with the two string type B braid group

The cyclotomic Birman-Murakami-Wenzl (or BMW) algebras B_n^k, introduced by R. Haring-Oldenburg, are extensions of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of Ariki-Koike, in the same way as the BMW algebras are extensions of the Hecke algebras of type A. In this paper we focus on the case n=2, producing a basis of B_2^k and constructing its left regular representation.

Cellular bases for algebras with a Jones basic construction

We define a method which produces explicit cellular bases for algebras obtained via a Jones basic construction. For the class of algebras in question, our method gives formulas for generic Murphy--type cellular bases indexed by paths on branching diagrams and compatible with restriction and induction on cell modules. The construction given here allows for a uniform combinatorial treatment of cellular bases and representations of the Brauer, Birman-Murakami-Wenzl, Temperley-Lieb, and partition algebras, among others.

An algebra-level version of a link-polynomial identity of Lickorish

We establish isomorphisms between certain specializations of Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras and the symmetric squares of Temperley-Lieb algebras. These isomorphisms imply a link-polynomial identity due to W. B. R. Lickorish. As an application, we compute the closed images of the irreducible braid group representations factoring over these specialized BMW algebras.

Symmetrizers and antisymmetrizers for the BMW algebra

Let $n\in\mathds{N}$ and $B_n(r,q)$ be the generic Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra with respect to indeterminants $r$ and $q$. It is known that $B_n(r,q)$ has two distinct linear representations generated by two central elements of $B_n(r,q)$ called the symmetrizer and antisymmetrizer of $B_n(r,q)$. These generate for $n\geq 3$ the only one dimensional two sided ideals of $B_n(r,q)$ and generalize the corresponding notion for Hecke algebras of type $A$. The main result in this paper explicitly determines the coefficients of these elements with respect to the graphical basis of $B_n(r,q)$.

On the freeness of the cyclotomic BMW algebras: admissibility and an isomorphism with the cyclotomic Kauffman tangle algebras

The cyclotomic Birman-Murakami-Wenzl (BMW) algebras B_n^k, introduced by R. Häring-Oldenburg, are a generalisation of the BMW algebras associated with the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type G(k,1,n) (aka Ariki-Koike algebras) and type B knot theory. In this paper, we prove the algebra is free and of rank k^n (2n-1)!! over ground rings with parameters satisfying so-called "admissibility conditions". These conditions are necessary in order for these results to hold and originally arise from the representation theory of B_2^k, which is analysed by the authors in a previous paper. Furthermore, we o…
