Abstract
The Temperley–Lieb algebras of type B, also known as one-boundary Temperley–Lieb al- gebras, are a family of unitary associative algebras of finite dimension that generalize the Temperley–Lieb algebras. They were introduced in 1992 by P.P Martin and H. Saleur for solving models in statistical mechanics [MS94] but they quickly became important in rep- resentation theory following the work of P.P. Martin and D. Woodcock [MW00] [MW03], who showed that they can be realized as quotients of cyclotomic Hecke algebras and observed deep connections with Lie theory. These quotients are related to Khovanov–Lauda–Rouquier (KLR) algebras through the work of Brundan and Kleshchev [BK09]; it is with the help of KLR algebras and their diagrammatic presentation that the results of this thesis will be obtained. They will now be referred to as blob algebras. This thesis focuses on the representation theory of certain blocks of blob algebras. Specif- ically, we find the quivers and relations describing the module categories of regular blocks in characteristic zero. The results are obtained through diagrammatic calculus, using the cellular basis constructed by Plaza–Ryom-Hansen [PRH14] and the primitive idempotents of Hazi–Martin–Parker [HMP21]. Structure: The first chapter briefly recalls the algebraic concepts that will be used. The second chapter presents blob algebras in both algebraic and diagrammatic ways, along with several known results about them. The third and fourth chapters contain all the original results, namely the calculation of quivers and relations for regular blocks.
