Abstract:
We construct a bar involution for quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras $B_{\mathbf {c},\mathbf {s}}$ corresponding to involutive automorphisms of the second kind of symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. To this end we give unified presentations of these algebras in terms of generators and relations, extending previous results by G. Letzter and the second-named author. We specify precisely the set of parameters $\mathbf {c}$ for which such an intrinsic bar involution exists.References
