The Hecke algebra H_n contains well known idempotents E_{lambda} which are indexed by Young diagrams with n cells. They were originally described by Gyoja. A skein theoretical description of E_{lambda} was given by Aiston and Morton. The closure of E_{lambda} becomes an element Q_{lambda} of the skein of the annulus. In this skein, they are known to obey the same multiplication rule as the symmetric Schur functions s_{lambda}. But previous proofs of this fact used results about quantum groups which were far beyond the scope of skein theory. Our elementary proof uses only skein theory and basic algebra.
We introduce non-acyclic $PGL_n(mathbb{C})$-torsion of a 3-manifold with toroidal boundary as an extension of J. Portis $PGL_2(mathbb{C})$-torsion, and present an explicit formula of the $PGL_n(mathbb{C})$-torsion of a mapping torus for a surface wit
Let $k$ be a subring of the field of rational functions in $x, v, s$ which contains $x^{pm 1}, v^{pm 1}, s^{pm 1}$. If $M$ is an oriented 3-manifold, let $S(M)$ denote the Homflypt skein module of $M$ over $k$. This is the free $k$-module generated b
We construct a faithful tensor representation for the Yokonuma-Hecke algebra Y, and use it to give a concrete isomorphism between Y and Shojis modified Ariki-Koike algebra. We give a cellular basis for Y and show that the Jucys-Murphy elements for Y
Morrison, Walker, and Wedrich used the blob complex to construct a generalization of Khovanov-Rozansky homology to links in the boundary of a 4-manifold. The degree zero part of their theory, called the skein lasagna module, admits an elementary defi
Let $S$ be the cyclotomic $q$-Schur algebra associated to the Ariki-Koike algebra $H_{n,r}$ of rank $n$, introduced by Dipper-James-Mathas. For each $p = (r_1, ..., r_g)$ such that $r_1 + ... + r_g = r$, we define a subalgebra $S^p$ of $S$ and its qu
