Representations of Cyclic Diagram Monoids

Jason Liu

TL;DR

It is shown that cyclic diagram monoids possess representation gaps of exponential growth, which quantify their resistance as platforms against linear attacks on cryptographic protocols that exploit small dimensional representations.

Abstract

We introduce cyclic diagram monoids, a generalisation of classical diagram monoids that adds elements of arbitrary period by including internal components, with a view towards cryptography. We classify their simple representations and compute their dimensions in terms of the underlying diagram algebra. These go towards showing that cyclic diagram monoids possess representation gaps of exponential growth, which quantify their resistance as platforms against linear attacks on cryptographic protocols that exploit small dimensional representations.
