Abstract:

In the spirit of the Schur–Weyl duality, we study the connections between the Racah algebra and the centralizers of tensor products of three (possibly different) irreducible representations of $\mathfrak {su}(2)$. As a first step we show that the Racah algebra always surjects onto the centralizer. We then offer a conjecture regarding the description of the kernel of the map, which depends on the irreducible representations. If true, this conjecture would provide a presentation of the centralizer as a quotient of the Racah algebra. We prove this conjecture in several cases. In particular, while doing so, we explicitly obtain the Temperley–Lieb algebra, the Brauer algebra and the one-boundary Temperley–Lieb algebra as quotients of the Racah algebra.
