In this paper, we describe the irreducible representations and give a dimension formula for the Framisation of the Temperley-Lieb algebra. We then prove that the Framisation of the Temperley-Lieb algebra is isomorphic to a direct sum of…
In this paper we first determine all irreducible representations of a wedge product of two table algebras in terms of the irreducible representations of two factors involved. Then we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for a table…
We consider the algebra ${\cal E}_n(u)$ introduced by F. Aicardi and J. Juyumaya as an abstraction of the Yokonuma-Hecke algebra. We construct a tensor space representation for ${\cal E}_n(u)$ and show that this is faithful. We use it to…
In this paper we present reducible representation of the $n^{2}$ braid group representation which is constructed on the tensor product of n-dimensional spaces. By some combining methods we can construct more arbitrary $n^{2}$ dimensional…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and a fixed invertible element $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$, and suppose $q+q^{-1}$ is invertible in $R$. For each planar surface $\Sigma_{0,n+1}$, we present its Kauffman bracket skein algebra over $R$ by…
Suppose B is the unital algebra consisting of the algebraic product of full matrix algebras over an index set X. A bijection is set up between the equivalence classes of irreducible representations of B as operators on a Banach space and…
The Burau representation is a fundamental bridge between the braid group and diverse other topics in mathematics. A 1974 question of Birman asks for a description of the image; in this paper we give a "strong approximation" to the answer.…
The representations of a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\Lambda)$ which arise from $\Lambda$-semibranching function systems are closely linked to the dynamics of the $k$-graph $\Lambda$. In this paper, we undertake a systematic analysis of…
We unify and generalize several approaches to constructing braid group representations from finite groups, using iterated twisted tensor products. Our results hint at a relationship between the braidings on the $G$-gaugings of a pointed…
Empirical properties of generating systems for complex reflection groups and their braid groups have been observed by Orlik-Solomon and Brou\'e-Malle-Rouquier, using Shephard-Todd classification. We give a general existence result for…
We study representations of the braid groups from braiding gapped boundaries of Dijkgraaf-Witten theories and their twisted generalizations, which are (twisted) quantum doubled topological orders in two spatial dimensions. We show that the…
We investigate braid group representations associated with unitary braided vector spaces, focusing on a conjecture that such representations should have virtually abelian images in general and finite image provided the braiding has finite…
We prove that the quotients of the group algebra of the braid group on 3 strands by a generic quartic and quintic relation respectively, have finite rank. This is a special case of a conjecture by Brou\'{e}, Malle and Rouquier for the…
We give a simple topological construction of the Burau representations of the loop braid groups. There are four versions: defined either on the non-extended or extended loop braid groups, and in each case there is an unreduced and a reduced…
The Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra, considered as the quotient of the braid group algebra, possesses the commutative set of Jucys--Murphy elements. We show that the set of Jucys--Murphy elements is maximal commutative for the generic…
We classify globally irreducible representations of alternating groups and double covers of symmetric and alternating groups. In order to achieve this classification we also completely characterise irreducible representations of such groups…
We study the construction of premonoidal categories, where the pentagon relation fails, through representations of finite group algebras and their quantum doubles. Both finite group algebras and their quantum doubles have a finite number of…
The cyclotomic Birman-Murakami-Wenzl (or BMW) algebras B_n^k, introduced by R. Haring-Oldenburg, are extensions of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of Ariki-Koike, in the same way as the BMW algebras are extensions of the Hecke algebras of…
Let $r$ be an odd prime and $\mathbb{F}$ a field containing a primitive $r$th root of unity. Then for all $\ell \geq 1$, there is a faithful representation $f: \operatorname{Sp}_{2\ell}(r) \rightarrow \operatorname{GL}_{r^\ell}(\mathbb{F})$…
The main purpose of this paper is providing a simple method to generate the matrices of irreducible representations because it is useful to reduce the computational time of solving the eigenvalue problems. The only information we need to…
