There is renewed interest in the coideal subalgebras used to form quantum symmetric pairs because of recent discoveries showing that they play a fundamental role in the representation theory of quantized enveloping algebras. However, there…
Coideal subalgebras of the quantized enveloping algebra are surveyed, with selected proofs included. The first half of the paper studies generators, Harish-Chandra modules, and associated quantum homogeneous spaces. The second half…
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…
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…
We study graded symmetric algebras, which are the symmetric monoids in the monoidal category of vector spaces graded by a group. We show that a finite dimensional graded semisimple algebra is graded symmetric. The center of a symmetric…
We construct a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form on quantized enveloping algebras associated to Borcherds superalgebras. With this, we study its center and its universal R-matrix.
We generalize to the case of singular blocks the result in \cite{BeLa} that describes the center of the principal block of a small quantum group in terms of sheaf cohomology over the Springer resolution. Then using the method developed in…
We study a monoid associated to complex semisimple Lie algebras, called the quantic monoid. Its monoid ring is shown to be isomorphic to a degenerate quantized enveloping algebra. Moreover, we provide normal forms and a straightening…
In this paper we show that the center of the partition algebra $\mathcal{A}_{2k}(\delta)$, in the semisimple case, is given by the subalgebra of supersymmetric polynomials in the normalised Jucys-Murphy elements. For the non-semisimple…
The center of a semisimple Lie algebra can be described as the algebra of W-invariant functions on the dual of the Cartan subalgebra. The centers of many Lie superalgebras have a similar description, but the defining equivalence relation on…
We consider the quantum vertex algebra associated with the double Yangian in type A as defined by Etingof and Kazhdan. We show that its center is a commutative associative algebra and construct algebraically independent families of…
We introduce two subalgebras in the type A quantum affine algebra which are coideals with respect to the Hopf algebra structure. In the classical limit q -> 1 each subalgebra specializes to the enveloping algebra U(k), where k is a fixed…
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…
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.…
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…
We consider a Borel subalgebra $\fg$ of the general linear algebra and its subalgebra $\BB$ which is a Borel subalgebra of the special linear algebra, over arbitrary field. Let $\cL\in\{\fg, \BB\}$. We establish here explicit realizations…
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…
We show that Hecke algebra of type B and a coideal subalgebra of the type A quantum group satisfy a double centralizer property, generalizing the Schur-Jimbo duality in type A. The quantum group of type A and its coideal subalgebra form a…
We provide a novel construction of quantized universal enveloping $*$-algebras of real semisimple Lie algebras, based on Letzter's theory of quantum symmetric pairs. We show that these structures can be `integrated', leading to a…
