A new approach to Kazhdan-Lusztig theory of type B via quantum symmetric pairs

arXiv:1310.0103

Abstract

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 quantum symmetric pair. A new theory of canonical bases arising from quantum symmetric pairs is initiated. It is then applied to formulate and establish for the first time a Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for the BGG category O of the ortho-symplectic Lie superalgebras . In particular, our approach provides a new formulation of the Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for Lie algebras of type B/C.
