✦ Synopsis

In our previous work oriented quantum algebras were motivated and introduced in a very natural categorical setting within the context of knots and links, some examples were discussed, and a rudimentary theory of oriented quantum algebras was sketched. Invariants of knots and links can be computed from oriented quantum algebras.

Here we continue the study of oriented quantum algebras. We view them from a more algebraic perspective and develop a more detailed theory for them and their associated invariants. We study a class of examples associated with the HOMFLY polynomial in depth.

In a previous paper we exhibited the somewhat surprising property that most direct links of prime ideals in Gorenstein rings are equimultiple ideals with reduction number 1. This led to the construction of large families of Cohen-Macaulay Rees algebras. The first goal of this paper is to extend this

Motivated by the theories of Hecke algebras and Schur algebras, we consider in this paper the algebra ‫ރ‬ M G of G-invariants of a finite monoid M with unit group G. If M is a regular ''balanced'' monoid, we show that ‫ރ‬ M G is a quasi-hereditary algebra. In such a case, we find the blocks of ‫ރ‬ M
