The Yokonuma-Temperley-Lieb Algebra (1012.1557v4)
Published 7 Dec 2010 in math.GT
Abstract: In this paper we introduce the Yokonuma-Temperley-Lieb algebra as a quotient of the Yokonuma-Hecke algebra over a two-sided ideal generated by an expression analogous to the one of the classical Temperley-Lieb algebra. The main theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the Markov trace defined on the Yokonuma-Hecke algebra to pass through to the quotient algebra, leading to a sequence of knot invariants which coincide with the Jones polynomial.
