Abstract: The aim of this learning seminar is to provide a gentle introduction to Temperley-Lieb algebras. We will start with some enumeration of Temperley-Lieb diagrams, then we will discuss how these diagrams are organized into a monoid, out of which we obtain the Temperley-Lieb algebra $TL_n ( \beta )$. This will be followed by studying some structural properties of $TL_n ( \beta )$, and its representations. The sources used for the presentations are the monograph [1] listed below, and some survey papers that are available online, e.g. [2] below.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
