Abstract: Daugherty and Orellana introduced a new diagram algebra called Quasipartition algebras in 2014. In this talk we will construct quasi-partition algebras and half quasi-partition algebras using an idempotent. Then using set-valued tableaux we give a description of a complete set of simple modules.Planar (half) quasi-partition algebras are sub-algebras of (half) quasi-partition algebras. The set-valued tableaux cannot be used in this setting, but for certain values of $x$, this sub-algebra is isomorphic to the Motzkin-Riordan algebra in which it is easier to find the representations. Finally, we use some idempotents of the Motzkin-Riordan algebra to compute the character table.
