Cohomology of Monoid Algebras

Monoid Hecke Algebras

This paper concerns the monoid Hecke algebras H introduced by Louis Solomon. We determine explicitly the unities of the orbit algebras associated with the two-sided action of the Weyl group W . We use this to: 1. find a description of the irreducible representations of H, 2. find an explicit isomorphism between H and the monoid algebra of the Renner monoid R, 3. extend the Kazhdan-Lusztig invol...

Module cohomology group of inverse semigroup algebras

Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup and let $E$ be its subsemigroup of idempotents. In this paper we define the $n$-th module cohomology group of Banach algebras and show that the first module cohomology group $HH^1_{ell^1(E)}(ell^1(S),ell^1(S)^{(n)})$ is zero, for every odd $ninmathbb{N}$. Next, for a Clifford semigroup $S$ we show that $HH^2_{ell^1(E)}(ell^1(S),ell^1(S)^{(n)})$ is a Banach sp...

Second Hochschild Cohomology of Convolution Algebras

Multi-Colour Braid-Monoid Algebras

We define multi-colour generalizations of braid-monoid algebras and present explicit matrix representations which are related to two-dimensional exactly solvable lattice models of statistical mechanics. In particular, we show that the two-colour braid-monoid algebra describes the Yang-Baxter algebra of the critical dilute A–D–E models which were recently introduced by Warnaar, Nienhuis, and Sea...

Representation theory of q-rook monoid algebras

We show that, over an arbitrary field, q-rook monoid algebras are iterated inflations of Iwahori-Hecke algebras, and, in particular, are cellular. Furthermore we give an algebra decomposition which shows a q-rook monoid algebra is Morita equivalent to a direct sum of Iwahori-Hecke algebras. We state some of the consequences for the representation theory of q-rook monoid algebras.
