On right coideal subalgebras of quantum groups

Abstract

Right coideal subalgebras are interesting substructures of Hopf algebras such as quantum groups. Examples of right coideal subalgebras are the quantum Borel part as well as quantum symmetric pairs. Classifying right coideal subalgebras is a difficult question with notable results by Schneider, Heckenberger and Kolb. After reviewing these results, as main result we prove that an arbitrary right coideal subalgebras has a particularly nice set of generators. This allows in principle to specify the set of right coideal subalgebras in a given case. As application we determine right coideal subalgebras of the quantum groups Uq(sl2) and Uq(sl3) and discuss their representation theoretic properties.

On Diagrammatic Categorification of Verma Modules I: Braiding

In this paper, we study the extensions of KLRW algebras to tensor products of Verma module representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. Our motivation is to construct a theory of Khovanov homology for knot complements in $S^3$ (and which also categorifies the Gukov-Manolescu two-variable series for knot complements), which will be done in the second part of this work. We construct the categorification of R-matrices for Verma modules as functors given by derived tensor products with diagrammatic bimodules and explicitly compute their projective resolutions. We also prove these braiding functors induce an action of the braid group on the relevant categories. Then, we describe how to incorporate strands in finite-dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$, thereby establishing functors that serve as the Khovanov homology on a braid complement. In the case of the unknot, this gives knot homologies in $S^1\times D^2$, which we compare to Annular Khovanov Homology through several examples and show they are very closely related, conjecturing they are of the same dimension. We conclude with a proposal for the categorification of the cups and caps of Verma module colored strands, which we build upon in the next paper.

Some finite dimensional representations of shifted quantum affine algebras of type A

In this paper, we study finite dimensional representations of shifted quantum affine algebras of type A. We give an explicit description of the tensor product of simple evaluation modules of the quantum loop algebra and a one-dimensional representation of the shifted quantum affine algebra under the separation condition. As a consequence, we give the q-characters of some finite dimensional simple modules of the shifted quantum affine algebra.
