Cell modules for the Temperley-Lieb algebra in mixed characteristic

Representation Theory 2026-01-27 v1

Abstract

We study the representation theory of the Temperley-Lieb algebra TLnk(δ)\mathsf{TL}_n^k(\delta) in mixed characteristic, i.e. over an arbitrary field kk of characteristic pp and where δ\delta satisfies some minimal polynomial mδm_\delta. In particular, we completely describe the submodule structure of cell modules for TLn\mathsf{TL}_n and give their Alperin diagrams. The proof is entirely diagrammatic and does not appeal to the role of TLn\mathsf{TL}_n as the endomorphism algebra of tensor powers of the fundamental representation of Uq(sl2)\textbf{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2). We also investigate two-dimensional Jantzen-like filtrations of the cell modules related to the mixed characteristic.
