Generating basis webs for $\SL_n$

Abstract

Given a simple algebraic group GG, a web is a directed trivalent graph with edges labelled by dominant minuscule weights. There is a natural surjection of webs onto the invariant space of tensor products of minuscule representations. Following the work of Westbury, we produce a set of webs for \SLn\SL_n which form a basis for the invariant space via the geometric Satake correspondence. In fact, there is an upper unitriangular change of basis to the Satake basis. This set of webs agrees with previous work in the cases n=2,3n=2,3 and generalizes the work of Westbury in the case n4n\geq 4.
