The Ariki-Terasoma-Yamada tensor space and the blob-algebra

Abstract

We show that the Ariki-Terasoma-Yamada tensor module and its permutation submodules $ M(λ) $ are modules for the blob algebra when the Ariki-Koike algebra is a Hecke algebra of type $B$. We show that $ M(λ)$ and the standard modules $ Δ(λ) $ have the same dimensions, the same localization and similar restriction properties and are equal in the Grothendieck group. Still we find that the universal property for $ Δ(λ) $ fails for $ M(λ) $, making $ M(λ) $ and $ Δ(λ) $ different modules in general. Finally, we prove that $ M(λ) $ is isomorphic to the dual Specht module for the Ariki-Koike algebra.
