Murphy elements from the double-row transfer matrix

Abstract

We consider the double-row (open) transfer matrix constructed from generic tensor-type representations of various types of Hecke algebras. For different choices of boundary conditions for the relevant integrable lattice model we express the double-row transfer matrix solely in terms of generators of the corresponding Hecke algebra (tensor-type realizations). We then expand the open transfer matrix and extract the associated Murphy elements from the first/last terms of the expansion. Suitable combinations of the Murphy elements as has been shown commute with the corresponding Hecke algebra.
