Presentations for Temperley-Lieb algebras

Rings and Algebras 2021-01-13 v2

Abstract

We give a new and conceptually straightforward proof of the well-known presentation for the Temperley-Lieb algebra, via an alternative new presentation. Our method involves twisted semigroup algebras, and we make use of two apparently new submonoids of the Temperley-Lieb monoid.
