In this paper we consider the Birman Wenzl algebras over an arbitrary field and prove that they are cellular in the sense of Graham and Lehrer. Furthermore, we determine for which parameters the Birman Wenzl algebras are quasi-hereditary. So the general theory of cellular algebras and quasi-heredita

We introduce a reduced form of a BirmanแMurakamiแWenzl algebra associated to the braid group of Coxeter type B and investigate its semisimplicity, Bratteli diagram, and Markov trace. Applications in knot theory and physics are outlined.
Quantized enveloping algebras U แ and their representations provide natural settings for the action of the corresponding braid groups. Objects of particular ลฝ . interest are the zero weight spaces of U แ -modules since they are stable under the ลฝ . braid group action. We show that for แ s แ แ there
The Jones polynomial was originally defined by constructing a Markov trace on the sequence of Temperley-Lieb algebras. In this paper we give a programme for constructing other link invariants by the same method. The data for the constructions is a representation of the three string braid group.
