A q-Brauer algebra

Quantum Algebra 2012-08-14 v2

Abstract

We define a new qq-deformation of Brauer's centralizer algebra which contains Hecke algebras of type AA as unital subalgebras. We determine its generic structure as well as the structure of certain semisimple quotients. This is expected to have applications for constructions of subfactors of type II1_1 factors and for module categories of fusion categories of type AA corresponding to certain symmetric spaces.
