On the representation theory of an algebra of braids and ties

Steen Ryom-Hansen

DOI: 10.1007/s10801-010-0233-9

Abstract

We consider the algebra \Cal E n ( u) introduced by Aicardi and 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 give a basis of \Cal E n ( u) and to classify its irreducible representations.
