Tangles of type EnE_n and a reducibility criterion for the Cohen-Wales representation of the Artin group of type E6E_6

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We introduce tangles of type EnE_n and construct a representation of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra (BMW algebra) of type E6E_6. As a representation of the Artin group of type E6E_6, this representation is equivalent to the faithful Cohen-Wales representation of type E6E_6 that was used to show the linearity of the Artin group of type E6E_6. We find a reducibility criterion for this representation and complex values of the parameters for which the algebra is not semisimple.
