Abstract:
This paper is about the construction of new examples of pairs of subfactors of the hyperfinite II$_{1}$ factor, and the computation of their indices and relative commutants. The construction is done in general by considering unitary braid representations with certain properties that are satisfied in natural examples. We compute the indices explicitly for the particular cases in which the braid representations are obtained in connection with representation theory of Lie algebras of types A,B,C,D.References
