Defining relations of quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras

Abstract

We explicitly determine the defining relations of all quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras of quantized enveloping algebras of Kac-Moody type. Our methods are based on star products on noncommutative $\mathbb{N}$-graded algebras. The resulting defining relations are expressed in terms of continuous q-Hermite polynomials and a new family of deformed Chebyshev polynomials.
