A generators and relations description of a representation category of Uq(𝔤𝔩(1|1))

We use the technique of quantum skew Howe duality to investigate the monoidal category generated by exterior powers of the standard representation of $U_{q} (g l (1 | 1))$ . This produces a complete diagrammatic description of the category in terms of trivalent graphs, with the usual MOY relations plus one additional family of relations. The technique also gives a useful connection between a system of symmetries on $\oplus_{m} {\dot{U}}_{q} (g l (m))$ and the braiding on the category of $U_{q} (g l (1 | 1))$ –representations which can be used to construct the Alexander polynomial and coloured variants.
