Diamond representations of sl(n)

In [6], there is a graphic description of any irreducible, finite dimensional sl(3) module. This construction, called diamond representation is very simple and can be easily extended to the space of irreducible finite dimensional U q (s[(3))-modules. In the present work, we generalize this construction to sl(n). We show it is in fact a description of the reduced shape algebra, a quotient of the shape algebra of sl(n). The basis used in [6] is thus naturally parametrized with the so called quasi standard Young tableaux. To compute the matrix coefficients of the representation in this basis, it is possible to use Groebner basis for the ideal of reduced Plucker relations defining the reduced shape algebra.
