The Temperley – Lieb algebra is an algebra with which some are built . Opened by Neville Temperley and Elliot Leeb. The algebra is applied in statistical mechanics , in the theory of , it is related to knot theory and braid groups , quantum groups and subfactors of von Neumann algebras .
Definition
Let be - commutative ring (most often - the field of real numbers ), in which the element is fixed . Algebra Temperli - Liba called - algebra formed by generators Subject to the Jones ratios :

can be represented as a vector space, with basis vectors, each of which is a diagram in the form of a square, on two opposite sides of which there are points. The points form n pairs, each pair is joined by a curve, and no two curves intersect. Five basic vectors look like this:
.
The multiplication of two basic elements occurs by the junction of two squares junction-in-junction, after each formed cycle gives the factor δ . For example,
× = = δ .
The unit element is a diagram with n horizontal lines, and a generator - a diagram in which the i -th vertex is connected to the i + 1 -th, 2n - i + 1- th point - with 2n - i -th point, and all other points are connected to opposite to themselves. For example, generators are:
From left to right: the identical element (unit) and the generators U 1 , U 2 , U 3 , U 4 .
Jones ratios can be represented graphically:
= δ
