We construct quantum supersymmetric pairs $({\bold U},{\bold U}^\imath)$ of type AIII and elucidate their fundamental properties. An $\imath$Schur duality between the $\imath$quantum supergroup ${\bold U}^\imath$ and the Hecke algebra of…
We give a new, conceptual proof of the $\imath$Serre and Serre-Lusztig relations for $\imath$quantum groups. The key to our approach is a new formula for the comultiplication of the $\imath$-divided powers, which allows us to reformulate…
A quantum symmetric pair consists of a quantum group $\mathbf U$ and its coideal subalgebra ${\mathbf U}^{\imath}_{{\boldsymbol{\varsigma}}}$ (called an $\imath$quantum group) with parameters ${\boldsymbol{\varsigma}}$. In this note, we use…
For quantum symmetric pairs $(\mathbf{U}, \textbf{U}^\imath)$ of Kac-Moody type, we construct $\imath$canonical bases for the highest weight integrable $\mathbf{U}$-modules and their tensor products regarded as $\mathbf{U}^\imath$-modules,…
In this part one of a series of papers, we introduce a new version of quantum covering and super groups with no isotropic odd simple root, which is suitable for the studies of integrable modules, integral forms and bar-involution. A quantum…
A quantum symmetric pair consists of a quantum group $\mathbf U$ and its coideal subalgebra ${\mathbf U}^{\imath}_{\boldsymbol{\varsigma}}$ with parameters $\boldsymbol{\varsigma}$ (called an $\imath$quantum group). We initiate a Hall…
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 analogs of this construction, known as…
This is a survey of some recent progress on quantum symmetric pairs and applications. The topics include quasi K-matrices, $\imath$Schur duality, canonical bases, super Kazhdan-Lusztig theory, $\imath$Hall algebras, current presentations…
A quantum symmetric pair is a quantization of the symmetric pair of universal enveloping algebras. Recent development suggests that most of the theory for quantum groups can be generalised to the setting of quantum symmetric pairs. In this…
A quantum covering group is an algebra with parameters $q$ and $\pi$ subject to $\pi^2=1$ and it admits an integral form; it specializes to the usual quantum group at $\pi=1$ and to a quantum supergroup of anisotropic type at $\pi=-1$. In…
In these lecture notes for a summer mini-course, we provide an exposition on quantum groups and Hecke algebras, including (quasi) R-matrix, canonical basis, and $q$-Schur duality. Then we formulate their counterparts in the setting of…
We introduce the notion of integrable modules over $\imath$quantum groups (a.k.a. quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras). After determining a presentation of such modules, we prove that each integrable module over a quantum group is…
We establish a Drinfeld type new presentation for the $\imath$quantum groups arising from quantum symmetric pairs of split affine ADE type, which includes the $q$-Onsager algebra as the rank 1 case. This presentation takes a form which can…
The quantum duality principal (QDP) by Drinfeld predicts a connection between the quantized universial enveloping algebras and the quantized coordinate algebras, where the underlying classical objects are related by the duality in Poisson…
We consider the quantum group $U_q(g)$ associated with a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra $g$. We display a presentation for $U_q(g)$ that we find attractive; we call this the equitable presentation. For $g=sl_2$ the equitable presentation…
Recently, Lu and Wang formulated a Drinfeld type presentation for $\imath$quantum group $\widetilde{{\mathbf U}}^\imath$ arising from quantum symmetric pairs of split affine ADE type. In this paper, we generalize their results by…
