The reduced Birman-Wenzl algebra of Coxeter type B
arXiv:q-alg/9709015
Abstract
We introduce a reduced form of a Birman-Murakami-Wenzl Algebra associated to the braid group of Coxeter type B and investigate its semisimplicity, Bratteli diagram and Markov trace. Applications in knot theory and physics are outlined.
