On factorising \(F\)-tensors by diagrammatic tensor notation (presetaion)
Abstract: In 1996 Maillet and Sanchez de Santos introduced the factorising \(F\)-matrix (really a tensor). This tensor factorises products of \(R\)-tensors indexed by permutations (the ubiquitous transfer matrix and indeed entire lattices of \(R\)-tensors are in this class. In this talk I define and describe some properties of the factorising \(F\)-tensors using diagrammatic tensor notation.
