An introduction to Spiders and Projectors
by
Amanda Curtis
UCSB / The Maderia School

Within spiders and planar algebras exist a special set of diagrams called projections. These are diagrams p for which p2=p. In his dissertation, Kim provides a recursive formula for the SL(3) planar algebra. We provide a new formula for them which is not recursive, and consider some other important diagrams for this algebra as well.
