Langlands branching rule for type B snake modules

Representation Theory 2026-01-30 v3

Abstract

We prove that each snake module of the quantum Kac-Moody algebra of type Bn(1)B_n^{(1)} admits a Langlands dual representation, as conjectured by Frenkel and Hernandez (Lett. Math. Phys. (2011) 96:217-261). Furthermore, we establish an explicit formula, called the Langlands branching rule, which gives the multiplicities in the decomposition of the character of a snake module of the quantum Kac-Moody algebra of type Bn(1)B_n^{(1)} into a sum of characters of irreducible representations of its Langlands dual algebra.
