Conjectural irreducibility criterion for the Lawrence–Krammer representation
Conjectural irreducibility criterion for the Lawrence–Krammer representation
Let be the matrices describing the actions of the BMW generators on the spanning elements of a vector space , and define
Here is the BMW algebra, is the coefficient field, and denotes the matrices over . Irreducibility conjecture. For , the assignment
is a representation, and it is irreducible if and only if . In general, the assignment
is a representation, and it is irreducible if and only if . No resolution is supplied in the cited passage.
