Jucys–Murphy elements and Grothendieck groups for generalized rook monoids

Abstract

We consider a tower of generalized rook monoid algebras over the field \mathbb{C} of complex numbers and observe that the Bratteli diagram associated to this tower is a simple graph. We construct simple modules and describe Jucys–Murphy elements for generalized rook monoid algebras. Over an algebraically closed field \Bbbk of positive characteristic p , utilizing Jucys–Murphy elements of rook monoid algebras, for 0\leq i\leq p-1 we define the corresponding i -restriction and i -induction functors along with two extra functors. On the direct sum \mathcal{G}_{\mathbb{C}} of the Grothendieck groups of module categories over rook monoid algebras over \Bbbk , these functors induce an action of the tensor product of the universal enveloping algebra U(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_p(\mathbb{C})) and the monoid algebra \mathbb{C}[\mathcal{B}] of the bicyclic monoid \mathcal{B} . Furthermore, we prove that \mathcal{G}_{\mathbb{C}} is isomorphic to the tensor product of the basic representation of U(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{p}(\mathbb{C})) and the unique infinite-dimensional simple module over \mathbb{C}[\mathcal{B}] , and also exhibit that \mathcal{G}_{\mathbb{C}} is a bialgebra. Under some natural restrictions on the characteristic of \Bbbk , we outline the corresponding result for generalized rook monoids.
