When the parameter $q$ is a root of unity, the Temperley-Lieb algebra $TL_n(q)$ is non-semisimple for almost all $n$. Jones showed that there is a canonical symmetric bilinear form on $TL_n(q)$, whose radical $R_n(q)$ is generated by a…
The Jones-Wenzl idempotents are elements of the Temperley-Lieb planar algebra that are important, but complicated to write down. We will present a new planar algebra, the pop-switch planar algebra, which contains the Temperley-Lieb planar…
The Jones-Wenzl idempotents of the Temperley-Lieb algebra are celebrated elements defined over characteristic zero and for generic loop parameter. Given pointed field $(R, \delta)$, we extend the existing results of Burrull, Libedinsky and…
The statistics of meanders is studied in connection with the Temperley-Lieb algebra. Each (multi-component) meander corresponds to a pair of reduced elements of the algebra. The assignment of a weight $q$ per connected component of meander…
We investigate the Gram determinant of the bilinear form based on curves in a planar surface, with a focus on the disk with two holes. We prove that the determinant based on $n-1$ curves divides the determinant based on $n$ curves.…
By studying a categorification of the antisymmetriser quasi-idempotent in the Hecke algebra, we derive a closed formula for the Jones-Wenzl idempotent in the Temperley-Lieb algebra. In particular, we show that when the idempotent is…
In this paper, we solve a problem posed by Rodica Simion regarding type B Gram determinants. We present this in a fashion influenced by the work of W.B.R.Lickorish on Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of 3-manifolds. The roots of the…
Temperley-Lieb algebras have been generalized to web spaces for rank 2 simple Lie algebras. Using these webs, we find a complete description of the Jones-Wenzl idempotents for the quantum sl(3) and sp(4) by single clasp expansions. We…
Let ${\mathbb{TL}_n^{\! \mathbb Q}} $ be the rational Temperley-Lieb algebra, with loop parameter $ 2 $. In the first part of the paper we study the seminormal idempotents $ E_{ \mathfrak{t}} $ for ${\mathbb{TL}_n^{\! \mathbb Q}}$ for $…
A binary tensor consists of $2^n$ entries arranged into hypercube format $2 \times 2 \times \cdots \times 2$. There are $n$ ways to flatten such a tensor into a matrix of size $2 \times 2^{n-1}$. For each flattening, $M$, we take the…
We prove a determinantal formula for quantities related to the problem of enumeration of (semi-) meanders, namely the topologically inequivalent planar configurations of non-self-intersecting loops crossing a given (half-) line through a…
We use Jones-Wenzl idempotents to construct bases for the relative Kauffman bracket skein module of a square with n points colored 1 and one point colored h. We consider a natural bilinear form on this skein module. We calculate the…
When the parameter $q$ is a root of unity, the Temperley-Lieb algebra $TL_n(q)$ is non-semisimple for almost all $n$. In this work, using cellular methods, we give explicit generating functions for the dimensions of all the simple…
In this paper, we compute the Gram determinants associated to each cell module of the Birman-Wenzl algebras. As a by-product, we give the necessary and sufficient condition for semisimple Birman-Wenzl algebras over an arbitrary field.
The Gram determinant of type $A$ was introduced by Lickorish in his work on invariants of 3 - manifolds. We generalize the theory of the Gram determinant of type $A$ by evaluating, in the annulus, a bilinear form of non-intersecting…
Gram determinants earned traction among knot theorists after E. Witten's presumption about the existence of a 3-manifold invariant connected to the Jones polynomial. Triggered by the creation of such an invariant by N. Reshetikhin and V.…
We study some algebraic and combinatorial features of two algebras that arise as quotients of Temperley-Lieb algebras of type $\tilde{C}$, namely, the two-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra and the symplectic blob algebra. We provide a…
Let p an integer. We define a family of idempotents (and nilpotents) in the Temperley - Lieb algebras at 4p-th roots of unity which generalize the usual Jones-Wenzl idempotents. These new idempotents correspond to finite dimentional simple…
Let (W,S) be a Coxeter system of affine type D, and let TL(W) the corresponding generalized Temperley-Lieb algebra. In this extended abstract we define an infinite dimensional associative algebra made of decorated diagrams which is…
Ribbon decomposition matrices give determinantal formulas for skew Schur functions that include as special cases the classical Jacobi-Trudi, Giambelli, and Lascoux-Pragacz formulas. We prove that certain elements of Lusztig's dual canonical…
