Hall algebras and quantum symmetric pairs II: reflection functors

Abstract

Recently the authors initiated an Hall algebra approach to (universal) quantum groups arising from quantum symmetric pairs. In this paper we construct and study BGP type reflection functors which lead to isomorphisms of the Hall algebras associated to acyclic quivers. For Dynkin quivers, these symmetries on Hall algebras induce automorphisms of universal quantum groups, which are shown to satisfy the braid group relations associated to the restricted Weyl group of a symmetric pair; conjecturally these continue to hold for acyclic quivers/Kac-Moody setting. This leads to a conceptual construction of -root vectors and PBW bases for (universal) quasi-split quantum groups of ADE type.
