On the way to this goal we invoke the representation theory of the Brauer algebra and the related Schur-Weyl dualities. The resulting traceless projector is constructed from purely combinatorial data involving Young diagrams. By construction, the projector manifestly commutes with the symmetric group and is well-adapted to restrictions to $GL$-irreducible tensor representations. We develop auxiliary computational techniques which serve to take advantage of the obtained results for applications. The proposed method of constructing traceless projectors leads to a particular central idempotent in the semisimple regime of the Brauer algebra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-30T00:36:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "brauer algebra", "traceless projection", "construction", "auxiliary computational techniques", "traceless projector" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 42, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
