Abstract

Let nn be a nonnegative integer, we use ribbon nn-graph diagrams and the Yamada polynomial skein relations to construct an algebra Yn{\mathcal Y}_n which is shown to be closely related to the Temerley-Lieb Algebra. We prove that the algebra Y2{\mathcal Y}_2 is isomorphic to some quotient of a three variables polynomial algebra. Then, we give a family of generators for the algebra Y3{\mathcal Y}_3.
