We show that ${rm End}_{bf U}(V_lambdaotimes V^{otimes n})$ is generated by the affine braid group $AB_n$ where ${bf U}=U_qmathfrak g(G_2)$, $V$ is its 7-dimensional irreducible representation and $V_lambda$ is an arbitrary irreducible representation.
We introduce and investigate new invariants on the pair of modules $M$ and $N$ over quantum affine algebras $U_q(mathfrak{g})$ by analyzing their associated R-matrices. From new invariants, we provide a criterion for a monoidal category of finite-dimensional integrable $U_q(mathfrak{g})$-modules to become a monoidal categorification of a cluster algebra.
Let $U_q(mathfrak{g})$ be a quantum affine algebra of arbitrary type and let $mathcal{C}_{mathfrak{g}}$ be Hernandez-Leclercs category. We can associate the quantum affine Schur-Weyl duality functor $F_D$ to a duality datum $D$ in $mathcal{C}_{mathfrak{g}}$. We introduce the notion of a strong (complete) duality datum $D$ and prove that, when $D$ is strong, the induced duality functor $F_D$ sends simple modules to simple modules and preserves the invariants $Lambda$ and $Lambda^infty$ introduced by the authors. We next define the reflections $mathcal{S}_k$ and $mathcal{S}^{-1}_k$ acting on strong duality data $D$. We prove that if $D$ is a strong (resp. complete) duality datum, then $mathcal{S}_k(D)$ and $mathcal{S}_k^{-1}(D)$ are also strong (resp. complete ) duality data. We finally introduce the notion of affine cuspidal modules in $mathcal{C}_{mathfrak{g}}$ by using the duality functor $F_D$, and develop the cuspidal module theory for quantum affine algebras similarly to the quiver Hecke algebra case.
Let $textbf{U}^+$ be the positive part of the quantum group $textbf{U}$ associated with a generalized Cartan matrix. In the case of finite type, Lusztig constructed the canonical basis $textbf{B}$ of $textbf{U}^+$ via two approaches. The first one is an elementary algebraic construction via Ringel-Hall algebra realization of $textbf{U}^+$ and the second one is a geometric construction. The geometric construction of canonical basis can be generalized to the cases of all types. The generalization of the elementary algebraic construction to affine type is an important problem. We give several main results of algebraic constructions to the affine canonical basis in this ariticle. These results are given by Beck-Nakajima, Lin-Xiao-Zhang, Xiao-Xu-Zhao, respectively.
We discuss tilting modules of affine quasi-hereditary algebras. We present an existence theorem of indecomposable tilting modules when the algebra has a large center and use it to deduce a criterion for an exact functor between two affine highest weight categories to give an equivalence. As an application, we prove that the Arakawa-Suzuki functor [Arakawa-Suzuki, J. of Alg. 209 (1998)] gives a fully faithful embedding of a block of the deformed BGG category of $mathfrak{gl}_{m}$ into the module category of a suitable completion of degenerate affine Hecke algebra of $GL_{n}$.
Associated to the classical Weyl groups, we introduce the notion of degenerate spin affine Hecke algebras and affine Hecke-Clifford algebras. For these algebras, we establish the PBW properties, formulate the intertwiners, and describe the centers. We further develop connections of these algebras with the usual degenerate (i.e. graded) affine Hecke algebras of Lusztig by introducing a notion of degenerate covering affine Hecke algebras.
