The exceptional series through the fifth tensor power

Bruce Westbury

We give a uniform structure for the first five tensor powers of the adjoint representation of an exceptional simple Lie algebra.

Cubic Jordan algebras are not a series

Bruce Westbury

The idea of the exceptional series is that the exceptional simple Lie algebras should form a series. Since all four simple Lie algebras in the fourth row of the Freudenthal magic s…

A uniform trigonometric R-matrix for the exceptional series

Bruce W. Westbury, Paul Zinn-Justin

The exceptional series is a finite list of points on a projective line with a simple Lie algebra attached to each point. This list of Lie algebras includes the five exceptional Lie…

Interpolating between promotion and the long cycle

Bruce W. Westbury

We give a new proof of the cyclic sieving phenomena for promotion on rectangular standard tableaux. This uses an action of the cactus groups in the seminormal bases of the irreduci…

Coboundary categories and local rules

Bruce W. Westbury

First we develop the theory of local rules for coboundary categories. Then we describe the local rules in two main cases. First for the quantum groups in general and in the seminor…

Extending and quantising the Vogel plane

Bruce W. Westbury

After introducing the Vogel plane we give the quantisation. Then we extend the Vogel plane to include certain symmetric spaces and give the quantisation of this extension.
