Abstract:

The algebra ${\mathcal {F}_n}$ generated by ${E_1},\; \ldots \;,\;{E_{n - 1}}$ subject to the defining relations $E_i^2 = {x_i}{E_i}\;(i = 1,\; \ldots \;,\;n - 1),\;{E_{i + 1}}{E_i}{E_{i + 1}} = {y_i}{E_{i + 1}}\;(i = 1,\; \ldots \;,\;n - 2),\;{E_i}{E_j} = {E_j}{E_i}\;(|i - j| \geqslant 2)$ is shown to be a semisimple algebra of dimension $n!$ if the parameters ${x_1},\; \ldots \;,\;{x_{n - 1}},\;{y_1},\; \ldots \;,\;{y_{n - 2}}$ are generic. We also prove that the Bratteli diagram of the tower ${({\mathcal {F}_n})_{n \geqslant 0}}$ of these algebras is the Hasse diagram of the Young-Fibonacci lattice, which is an interesting example, as well as Young’s lattice, of a differential poset introduced by $\operatorname {R}$. Stanley. A Young-Fibonacci analogue of the ring of symmetric functions is given and studied.
