Quantum Supergroups III. Twistors

Abstract

We establish direct connections at several levels between quantum groups and supergroups associated to bar-consistent super Cartan datum by constructing an automorphism (called twistor) in the setting of covering quantum groups. The canonical bases of the halves of quantum groups and supergroups are shown to match under the twistor up to powers of a square root of -1. We further show that the modified quantum group and supergroup are isomorphic over the rational function field adjoint with a square root of -1, by constructing a twistor on the modified covering quantum group. An equivalence of categories of weight modules for quantum groups and supergroups follows.
