The conjecture identifying diagrammatic and exceptional-point irreducible 2BTL representations

Let NN be the system size, let nn be an allowed label, and let ϵ1,ϵ2{+1,1}\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2\in\{+1,-1\}. Let Wϵ1,ϵ2(N,n)W^{(N,n)}_{\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2} denote the irreducible representation of the two-boundary Temperley–Lieb algebra obtained from the diagrammatic approach, and let Vϵ1,ϵ2(N,n)V^{(N,n)}_{\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2} and Vϵ(N)V^{(N)}_{\epsilon} denote the irreducible representations obtained from the 2N2^N-dimensional representation at exceptional parameter values. Set

y=n+ϵ1x1+ϵ2x2.y=-n+\epsilon_1x_1+\epsilon_2x_2.

2BTL representation-identification conjecture. For n>0n>0, the irreducible representation Wϵ1,ϵ2(N,n)W^{(N,n)}_{\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2} is equivalent to Vϵ1,ϵ2(N,n)V^{(N,n)}_{\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2}, and

W+,+(N,0)V+(N).W^{(N,0)}_{+,+}\simeq V^{(N)}_{+}.

The conjecture is motivated by the coincidence between the dimensions of the diagrammatic irreducible representations and those obtained from the exceptional points. The source gives no resolution, so the identification remains open here.
