Planar spider theorem and asymmetric Frobenius algebras
Abstract
The `spider theorem' for a general Frobenius algebra , classifies all maps that are built from the operations and, in a graphical representation, represented by a {\it connected} diagram. Here the algebra can be noncommutative and the Frobenius form can be asymmetric. We view this theorem as reducing any connected diagram to a standard form with beads , where is the number of bounded connected components of the original diagram. We study the associated F-dimension Hilbert series , where are invariants of the Frobenius structure. We also study moduli of asymmetric quasispecial and `weakly symmetric' Frobenius structures and their F-dimensions. Examples include general Frobenius structures on matrix algebras and on group algebras as well as on at low roots of unity.
