Category of partitions of even size with small blocks

The category of partitions of even size with small blocks is a Banica-Speicher category of partitions inducing the corepresentation category of the modified bistochastic groups.

Definition

By the category of partitions of even size with small blocks one denotes the subcategory of the category of all partitions $\Pscr$ whose underlying set is the set of all partitions of even size with small blocks. It was introduced by Banica and Speicher in [BanSp09].

This name is to be taken literally.

  • For all $k,l\in \{0\}\cup \N$, a partition $p\in \Pscr(k,l)$ is said to be of even size if $k+l$ is an even number, i.e., if $p$ has evenly many points.
  • And $p$ is said to have small blocks if every block in $p$ is of size $1$ or $2$.

In particular, the set of all partitions of even size with small blocks is the intersection of the morphism sets of two larger categories, the category of partitions of even size and the category of all partitions with small blocks.

Canonical generator

The category of partitions of even size with small blocks is the subcategory of $\Pscr$ generated by the set $\{\crosspart, \singleton\otimes\singleton\}$ of partitions.

Associated easy quantum groups

Via Tannaka-Krein duality for compact quantum groups, the category of all partitions of even size with small blocks corresponds to the family $(B_N')_{N\in \N}$ of modified bistochastic groups.
