Non-vanishing Gram determinants for cyclotomic Nazarov–Wenzl and Birman–Murakami–Wenzl algebras

Abstract: In this paper, we use the method in Rui and Si (2011) to give a necessary and sufficient condition on non-vanishing Gram determinants for cyclotomic NW and cyclotomic BMW algebras over an arbitrary field. Equivalently, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for each cell module of such algebras being equal to its simple head over an arbitrary field. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
