A quantum symmetric pair consists of a quantum group $\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}$ and its coideal subalgebra $\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}^\imath$. The Hall algebra constructions of $\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}$ and $\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}^\imath$ are…
The pair consisting of a quantum group and its corresponding coideal subalgebra, known as a quantum symmetric pair, was developed independently by M. Noumi and G. Letzter through different approaches. The purpose of this paper is threefold.…
Let $A$ be an arbitrary symmetrizable Cartan matrix of rank $r$, and ${\bf n}={\bf n_+}$ be the standard maximal nilpotent subalgebra in the Kac-Moody algebra associated with $A$ (thus, ${\bf n}$ is generated by $E_1,\ldots,E_r$ subject to…
We develop an invariant theory of quasi-split $\imath$quantum groups $\mathbf{U}_n^\imath$ of type AIII on a tensor space associated to $\imath$Howe dualities. The first and second fundamental theorems for $\mathbf{U}_n^\imath$-invariants…
We develop a general theory of canonical bases for quantum symmetric pairs $(\mathbf{U}, \mathbf{U}^\imath)$ with parameters of arbitrary finite type. We construct new canonical bases for the simple integrable $\mathbf{U}$-modules and their…
This is the first of two papers on quasi-split affine quantum symmetric pairs $\big(\widetilde{\mathbf U}(\widehat{\mathfrak g}), \widetilde{{\mathbf U}}^\imath \big)$, focusing on the real rank one case, i.e., $\mathfrak{g}=…
We provide a geometric realization of the quasi-split affine $\imath$quantum group of type AIII$_{2n-1}^{(\tau)}$ in terms of equivariant K-groups of non-connected Steinberg varieties of type C. This uses a new Drinfeld type presentation of…

We formulate and classify super Satake diagrams under a mild assumption, building on arbitrary Dynkin diagrams for finite-dimensional basic Lie superalgebras. We develop a theory of quantum supersymmetric pairs associated to the super…
We extend the $\imath$Hall algebra realization of $\imath$quantum groups arising from quantum symmetric pairs, which establishes an injective homomorphism from the universal $\imath$quantum group of Kac-Moody type to the $\imath$Hall…
Let $U_\hbar\mathfrak{g}$ denote the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group associated to a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We apply a modification of the $R$-matrix construction for quantum groups to the evaluation of the universal…
We introduce quantum super-spherical pairs as coideal subalgebras in general linear and orthosymplectic quantum supergroups. These subalgebras play a role of isotropy subgroups for matrices solving $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded reflection equation.…
Recently N.Jing discovered a certain combinatorial identity from validity of the Serre relations in some vertex representations of quantum Kac-Moody algebras. We generalize this identity, in particular, extending it from polynomials to…
We obtain a presentation of quantum Schur algebras (over the field Q(v)) by generators and relations. This presentation is compatible with the usual presentation of the quantized universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra gl(2). We…
Quasirational presentations ($QR$-presentations) of (pro-$p$)groups are studied. Such presentations include, in particular, aspherical presentations of discrete groups and their subpresentations and pro-$p$-groups with a single defining…
We extend our $\imath$Hall algebra construction from acyclic to arbitrary $\imath$quivers, where the $\imath$quiver algebras are infinite-dimensional 1-Gorenstein in general. Then we establish an injective homomorphism from the universal…
We explicitly determine the defining relations of all quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras of quantized enveloping algebras of Kac-Moody type. Our methods are based on star products on noncommutative $\mathbb{N}$-graded algebras. The…
The (universal) $\imath$quantum groups are as a vast generalization of (Drinfeld double) quantum groups. We establish an algebra homomorphism from universal $\imath$quantum group of split type to a certain quantum torus, which can be viewed…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra and let $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ denote the corresponding quantized enveloping algebra. In the present paper we show that quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras $B_{c,s}$ of…
The present paper develops a general theory of quantum group analogs of symmetric pairs for involutive automorphism of the second kind of symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. The resulting quantum symmetric pairs are right coideal subalgebras…
