Quasi-split iYangians: minimalistic presentations and coideal structures

Abstract

We study iYangians, namely twisted Yangians in the Drinfeld current presentation, associated with quasi-split symmetric pairs of type $\mathsf{ADE}$ with nontrivial diagram involution. We establish minimalistic presentations in terms of degree-zero and degree-one generators. Type ${\mathsf{A}}_{2n}$ is treated separately: the isolated rank-two case requires two additional relations, whereas in higher rank these relations are forced by the neighboring noncentral orbit. As a by-product, we strengthen Theorem 3.1 in arxiv:2511.07136 by proving that the extra relation in the minimalistic presentation of split iYangian is redundant whenever $\mathfrak{g}$ has rank at least two. We also construct explicit injective homomorphisms from quasi-split iYangians into Yangians, identify their images as right coideal subalgebras, and obtain isomorphisms between the Drinfeld and $J$ presentations. Finally, we derive triangular estimates for the Drinfeld currents and their coproducts and apply them to the ${}^{ı}\ell$-weights arising by restriction from finite-dimensional Yangian modules.
