Abstract

Inspired by the quantum McKay correspondence, we consider the classical ADEADE Lie theory as a quantum theory over sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2. We introduce anti-symmetric characters for representations of quantum groups and investigate the Fourier duality to study the spectral theory. In the ADEADE Lie theory, there is a correspondence between the eigenvalues of the Coxeter element and the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. We formalize related notions and prove such a correspondence for representations of Verlinde algebras of quantum groups: this includes the quiver of any module category acted on by the representation category of any simple Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} at any level \ell. This answers an old question posed by Victor Kac in 1994 and a recent comment by Terry Gannon.
