On the block structure of the quantum -matrix in the three-strand braids

    Quantum -matrices are the building blocks for the colored HOMFLY polynomials. In the case of three-strand braids with an identical finite-dimensional irreducible representation T of SUq(N) associated with each strand, one needs two matrices: 1 and 2. They are related by the Racah matrices 2=𝒰1𝒰. Since we can always choose the basis so that 1 is diagonal, the problem is reduced to evaluation of 2-matrices. This paper is one more step on the road to simplification of such calculations. We found out and proved for some cases that 2-matrices could be transformed into a block-diagonal ones by the rotation in the sectors of coinciding eigenvalues. The essential condition is that there is a pair of accidentally coinciding eigenvalues among eigenvalues of 1 matrix. In this case in order to get a block-diagonal matrix, one should rotate the 2 defined by the Racah matrix in the accidental sector by the angle exactly ±π4.
