Cellular Algebra of A2 webs
Abstract
We introduce a diagram algebra π¦L based on Kuperberg's A2-webs and prove a Schur--Weyl duality π¦L β EndUq(sl3)((V+ β V-)β L), where VΒ± are the fundamental representations of Uq(sl3). Thus, π¦L is a natural A2 analogue of the Temperley--Lieb algebra. We construct an explicit cellular structure for π¦L, with the web basis as its cellular basis and cell modules indexed by dominant Uq(sl3)-weights. The bases of these modules are parametrized by dominant lattice paths via a recursive growth algorithm. Using this structure, we determine local generators of π¦L and establish web formulations of the first and second fundamental theorems of invariant theory. In particular, we show that the braid-group image, augmented by local idempotents, does not generate π¦L, and identify an additional local generator. Finally, we derive a bimodule decomposition of (V+ β V-)β L, yielding a complete set of irreducible π¦L-modules for formal or generic q.
