Category of partitions with blocks of even size

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

Definition

By the category of partitions with blocks of even size one denotes the subcategory of the category of all partitions $\Pscr$ whose morphism set is the set of all partitions with blocks of even size. It was introduced by Banica, Bichon and Collins in [BanBichColl07].

This name is to be taken literally. A partition $p\in\Pscr$ is said to have blocks of even size if every block of $p$ has an even number of legs.

Canonical generator

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

Associated easy quantum groups

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