A conjectural extension of the Kazhdan-Lusztig equivalence

Abstract

A theorem of Kazhdan and Lusztig establishes an equivalence between the category of G(CO)-integrable representations of the Kac-Moody algebra \hat{g}_{-κ} at a negative level -κand the category \Rep_q(G) of (algebraic) representations of the "big" (a.k.a. Lusztig's) quantum group. In this paper we propose a conjecture that describes the category of Iwahori-integrable Kac-Moody modules. The corresponding object on the quantum group side, denoted Rep^{mxd}_q(G), involves Lusztig's version of the quantum group for the Borel and the De Concini-Kac version for the negative Borel.
