Description
Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss centralizers of the quantum groups associated to the Lie algebras S|N when acting on a tensor product of vector spaces, in the spirit of the Schur–Weyl duality. I will briefly explain how in some cases the centralizers can be described with the help of an algebra related to orthogonal polynomials, and I will discuss their diagrammatic interpretation in the context of link invariants and Chern–Simons theory, a topological quantum field theory.
