Webs and canonical bases in degree two

Creative Commons 'BY' version 4.0 license
Abstract

We show that Lusztig's canonical basis for the degree two part of the Grassmannian coordinate ring is given by \({\rm SL}_k\) web diagrams. Equivalently, we show that every \({\rm SL}_2\) web immanant of a plabic graph for \({\rm Gr}(k,n)\) is an \({\rm SL}_k\) web invariant.
