On the Representation Theory of an Algebra of Braids and Ties

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 give a basis for ${\cal E}_n(u)$ and to classify its irreducible representations.Comment: 24 pages. Final version. To appear in Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics

Determination of the representations and a basis for the Yokonuma-Temperley-Lieb algebra

21 pages, Expanded introduction, Contains the results of previous arXiv:1302.7101International audienceWe determine the representations of the Yokonuma-Temperley-Lieb algebra, which is defined as a quotient of the Yokonuma-Hecke algebra by generalising the construction of the classical Temperley-Lieb algebra. We then deduce the dimension of this algebra, and produce an explicit basis for it
