Abstract:

Motivated by Maulik-Okounkov stable maps associated to quiver varieties, we define and construct algebraic stable maps on tensor products of representations in the category $\mathcal {O}$ of the Borel subalgebra of an arbitrary untwisted quantum affine algebra. Our representation-theoretical construction is based on the study of the action of Cartan-Drinfeld subalgebras. We prove the algebraic stable maps are invertible and depend rationally on the spectral parameter. As an application, we obtain new $R$-matrices in the category $\mathcal {O}$ and we establish that a large family of simple modules, including the prefundamental representations associated to $Q$-operators, generically commute as representations of the Cartan-Drinfeld subalgebra. We also establish categorified $QQ^*$-systems in terms of the $R$-matrices we construct.
