A_2-web immanants
Abstract
Description
We describe the rank 3 Temperley-Lieb-Martin algebras in terms of Kuperberg's A_2-webs. We define consistent labelings of webs, and use them to describe the coefficients of decompositions into irreducible webs. We introduce web immanants, inspired by Temperley-Lieb immanants of Rhoades and Skandera. We show that web immanants are positive when evaluated on totally positive matrices, and describe some further properties.
