On the representation theory of partial Brauer algebras

Abstract

In this paper we study the partial Brauer $\mathbb{C}$-algebras $\mathfrak{R}_n(\delta,\delta')$, where $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\delta,\delta'\in\mathbb{C}$. We show that these algebras are generically semisimple, construct the Specht modules and determine the Specht module restriction rules for the restriction $\mathfrak{R}_{n-1} \hookrightarrow \mathfrak{R}_n$. We also determine the corresponding decomposition matrix, and the Cartan decomposition matrix.
