For those who aren't familiar with the Virasoro or Temperley-Lieb algebras, I include some definitions: • The (universal envelopping algebra of the) Virasoro algebra is the $\star$-algebra $...

I work in planar algebras and subfactors, where the idea of path algebras on a graph (alternately known as graph algebras, graph planar algebras, etc.) is quite useful. The particular result I'm ...

Let $G$ be a complex, reductive group and let $V_1, \dotsc, V_r$ be a collection of finite dimensional, irreducible complex representations of $G$. Let $\mathcal{A} = \mathrm{End}_G(V_1 \otimes \dotsb ...

I'm trying to understand the invariant theory of the unitary groups $\mathcal{U}(n)$ on tensor powers of their standard representations $V^{\otimes p} \otimes (V^*)^{\otimes q}$. Let $\mathcal{U}(n)$ ...

The Temperley Lieb algebra $TL_n$ at roots of unity is not semisimple. The standard representations $V_{n,p}$ are indecomposable but, in general, not irreducible. If $K_{n,p}$ is the sub-...
