The Temperley-Lieb algebra at roots of unity

Frederick Michael Goodman and Hans Wenzl

Vol. 161 (1993), No. 2, 307–334
Abstract

We present general techniques to determine the structure of Hecke algebras and similar algebras in the non-semisimple case. We apply these to give a complete description of the structure of the Temperley-Lieb algebras at a root of unity. Our description implies in particular that the representation of these algebras on tensor space (C2)n is faithful.
