Planar spider theorem and asymmetric Frobenius algebras
Preprint
Abstract
The `spider theorem' for a general Frobenius algebra $A$, classifies all maps $A^{\otimes m}\to A^{\otimes n}$ that are built from the operations and, in a graphical representation, represented by a {\it connected} diagram. Here the algebra can be noncommutative and the Frobenius form can be asymmetric. We view this theorem as reducing any connected diagram to a standard form with $j$ beads $B$, where $j$ is the number of bounded connected components of the original diagram. We study the associated F-dimension Hilbert series $\dim_x=\sum_{j=0}^\infty x^j\dim_j$, where $\dim_j=\epsilon\circ B^j\circ 1$ are invariants of the Frobenius structure. We also study moduli of asymmetric quasispecial and `weakly symmetric' Frobenius structures and their F-dimensions. Examples include general Frobenius structures on matrix algebras $A=M_d(k)$ and on group algebras $k G$ as well as on $u_q(sl_2)$ at low roots of unity.
