The universal centralizer for the addition of three su(2) is known as the Racah algebra and is generated by the set of Casimir elements. We investigate the centralizers of the direct product of three irreducible su(2) representations labelled by the integers or half- integers ji, i = 1, 2, 3. We shall offer and motivate a conjecture giving these centralizers as quotients of the Racah algebra under polynomial relations involving the generators of the latter. That specializations of the Temperley-Lieb and Brauer algebras are recovered in the special cases j1=j2=j3=1/2 and j1=j2=J3=1 respectively, will be observed. We shall also indicate that the conjecture holds for j1 arbitrary and j2=j3=1/2 in which case, remarkably, the centralizer is identified as a one-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra. This talk is Based on work done in collaboration with Nicolas Crampé (CRM/Tours) and Loïc Poulain D’Andecy (Reims).
