%0 Journal Article %T The reduced Birman-Wenzl algebra of Coxeter type B %A R. Haering-Oldenburg %J Mathematics %D 1997 %I arXiv %X We introduce a reduced form of a Birman-Murakami-Wenzl Algebra associated to the braid group of Coxeter type B and investigate its semisimplicity, Bratteli diagram and Markov trace. Applications in knot theory and physics are outlined. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/q-alg/9709015v1
