Abstract

We study some algebraic and combinatorial features of two algebras that arise as quotients of Temperley-Lieb algebras of type C˜, namely, the two-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra and the symplectic blob algebra. We provide a monomial basis for both algebras. The elements of these bases are parameterized by certain subsets of fully commutative elements. We enumerate these elements according to their affine length.
