Overview
Learn about quantum symmetric pairs and i-quantum groups in this mathematics research lecture from the Workshop on Representation Theory, Calabi-Yau Manifolds, and Mirror Symmetry. Explore how i-quantum groups serve as generalizations of quantum groups through an examination of Drinfeld-Jimbo affine quantum groups and their coideal subalgebras. Delve into the development of a Drinfeld-type presentation for affine quasi-split i-quantum groups, building upon Beck's proven loop presentation for quantum groups. Follow along as the mathematical foundations and relationships between these complex algebraic structures are explained, drawing from collaborative research with Ming Lu and Weinan Zhang.
