Dualities for spin representations

Quantum Algebra 2020-05-25 v1

Abstract

Let SS be the spinor representation of UqsoNU_q\mathfrak{so}_N, for NN odd and q2q^2 not a rooot of unity. We show that the commutant of its action on SnS^{\otimes n} is given by a representation of the nonstandard quantum group Uq2sonU'_{-q^2}\mathfrak{so}_n. For NN even, an analogous statement also holds for S=S+SS=S_+\oplus S_- the direct sum of the irreducible spinor representations of UqsoNU'_q\mathfrak{so}_N, with the commutant given by UqonU'_{-q}\mathfrak{o}_n, a Z/2\mathbb{Z}/2-extension of UqsonU'_{-q}\mathfrak{so}_n. Similar statements also hold for fusion tensor categories with qq a root of unity.
