Ribbon graphs and the Temperley-Lieb Algebra

Let $n$ be a nonnegative integer, we use ribbon $n-$graph diagrams and the Yamada polynomial skein relations to construct an algebra ${\mathcal{Y}}_n$ which is shown to be closely related to the Temerley-Lieb Algebra. We prove that the algebra ${\mathcal{Y}}_2$ is isomorphic to some quotient of a three variables polynomial algebra. Then, we give a family of generators for the algebra ${\mathcal{Y}}_3$.
