Cubic Hecke Algebras and some quotients.

We study certain quotients of the group algebra of the braid group introduced by L. Funar (1995). By methods from the modular representation of finite groups, one may show that those collapse in characteristic distinct from 2. In characteristic 2 we can define several quotients related to the classical Hecke and Birman-Wenzl-Murakami quotients, but which admit in addition a symmetry of order 3. We also establish conditions on the possible Markov traces factorizing through them. This is a joint work with Ivan Marin (Paris).
