Triple clasp formulas for $C_2$ webs

Representation Theory 2022-04-26 v3

Abstract

Using the light ladder basis for Kuperberg's C2C_2 webs, we derive triple clasp formulas for idempotents projecting to the top summand in each tensor product of fundamental representations. We then find explicit formulas for the coefficients occurring in the clasps, by computing these coefficients as local intersection forms. Our formulas provide further evidence for Elias's clasp conjecture, which was given for type AA webs, and suggests how to generalize the conjecture to non-simply laced types.
