An Ariki-Koike like extension of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl Algebra
arXiv:q-alg/9712030
Abstract
We introduce an Ariki-Koike like extension of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl Algebra and show it to be semi-simple. This algebra supports a faithful Markov trace that gives rise to link invariants of closures of Coxeter type B braids.
