Invariant theory for unitary groups $\mathcal{U}(n)$
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 $\mathcal{U}(n)$ ...

What about Hopf algebra and fusion structures for intertwiner algebras?
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 ...

Complete list of indecomposable representations of Temperley-Lieb algebras at roots of unity?
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-...

Why is there such a close resemblance between the unitary representation theory of the Virasoro algebra and that of the Temperley-Lieb algebra?
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 $...

ubiquity, importance of path algebras
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 ...
