We reformulate the Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ of Lie algebras of type D via the theory of canonical bases arising from quantum symmetric pairs initiated by Weiqiang Wang and the author. This is further applied to formulate and establish for the first time the Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ of the ortho-symplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(2m|2n)$.
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 tensor products regarded as $\mathbf{U}^\imath$-modules. We also construct a canonical basis for the modified form of the $\imath$quantum group $\mathbf{U}^\imath$. To that end, we establish several new structural results on quantum symmetric pairs, such as bilinear forms, braid group actions, integral forms, Levi subalgebras (of real rank one), and integrality of the intertwiners.
We categorify a coideal subalgebra of the quantum group of $\mathfrak{sl}_{2r+1}$ by introducing a $2$-category à la Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier, and show that self-dual indecomposable $1$-morphisms categorify the canonical basis of this algebra. This allows us to define a categorical action of this coideal algebra on the categories of modules over cohomology rings of partial flag varieties and on the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ of type B/C.
This is a generalization of the classic work of Beilinson, Lusztig and MacPherson. In this paper (and an Appendix) we show that the quantum algebras obtained via a BLM-type stabilization procedure in the setting of partial flag varieties of type $B/C$ are two (modified) coideal subalgebras of the quantum general linear Lie algebra, $\dot{\mathbf U}^{\jmath}$ and $\dot{\mathbf U}^{\imath}$. We provide a geometric realization of the Schur-type duality of Bao-Wang between such a coideal algebra and Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type $B$. The monomial bases and canonical bases of the Schur algebras and the modified coideal algebra $\dot{\mathbf U}^{\jmath}$ are constructed. In an Appendix by three authors, a more subtle $2$-step stabilization procedure leading to $\dot{\mathbf U}^{\imath}$ is developed, and then monomial and canonical bases of $\dot{\mathbf U}^{\imath}$ are constructed. It is shown that $\dot{\mathbf U}^{\imath}$ is a subquotient of $\dot{\mathbf U}^{\jmath}$ with compatible canonical bases. Moreover, a compatibility between canonical bases for modified coideal algebras and Schur algebras is established.
We establish a Schur type duality between a coideal subalgebra of the quantum group of type A and the Hecke algebra of type B with 2 parameters. We identify the $\imath$-canonical basis on the tensor product of the natural representation with Lusztig's canonical basis of the type B Hecke algebra with unequal parameters associated to a weight function.
We construct canonical bases in tensor products of several lowest and highest weight integrable modules, generalizing Lusztig's work.
