The center of the walled Brauer algebra $B_{r,1}(\delta)$

Abstract

We show that the centre of the walled Brauer algebra $B_{r,1}(\delta)$ over the complex field $\mathbb{C}$, for any parameter $\delta\in \mathbb{C}$, is generated by the supersymmetric polynomials evaluated at the Jucys-Murphy elements. Moreover, we prove that its dimension is independent of the parameter $\delta$.
