We construct a bar involution for quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras $B_{\mathbf{c},\mathbf{s}}$ corresponding to involutive automorphisms of the second kind of symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. To this end we give unified presentations of these algebras in terms of generators and relations extending previous results by G. Letzter and the second named author. We specify precisely the set of parameters $\mathbf{c}$ for which such an intrinsic bar involution exists.

Defining relations for quantum symmetric pair coideals of Kac–Moody type

Classical symmetric pairs consist of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, together with its subalgebra of fixed points under an involutive automorphism of the second kind. Quantum group…

The bar involution for quantum symmetric pairs -- hidden in plain sight

We show that all quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras Bc of Kac-Moody type have a bar involution for a suitable choice of parameters c. The proof relies on a generalized notion of quasi…

Defining relations of quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras

Abstract We explicitly determine the defining relations of all quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras of quantised enveloping algebras of Kac–Moody type. Our methods are based on star products on…

Reflection matrices, coideal subalgebras and generalized Satake diagrams of affine type

We present a generalization of the theory of quantum symmetric pairs as developed by Kolb and Letzter. We introduce a class of generalized Satake diagrams that give rise to (not necessarily…

Hall algebras and quantum symmetric pairs of Kac-Moody type

We extend our ıHall algebra construction from acyclic to arbitrary ıquivers, where the ıquiver algebras are infinite-dimensional 1-Gorenstein in general. Then we establish an injective homomorphism…

Quantum supersymmetric pairs and $\imath$Schur duality of type AIII

Expanding the classic work of Letzter and Kolb, we construct quantum supersymmetric pairs $({\mathbf U},{\mathbf U}^\imath)$ of type AIII and formulate their basic properties. We establish an…
