On canonical bases for the Letzter algebra \(\mathbf{U}^\imath(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\) (Q2301884)

The main result of this paper says that the canonical basis of (the modified form of) Letzter's coideal subalgebra of quantum \({sl}_2\), constructed via a geometric approach in [Bull. Inst. Math., Acad. Sin. (N.S.) 13, No. 2, 143-198 (2018; Zbl 1440.17012)] by the author and \textit{W. Wang}, coincides with the algebraic basis conjectured by \textit{H. Bao} and \textit{W. Wang} [A new approach to Kazhdan-Lusztig theory of type \(B\) via quantum symmetric pairs. Paris: SMF (2018; Zbl 1411.17001)] and proved in [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 222, No. 9, 2667--2702 (2018; Zbl 1388.17004)] by \textit{C. Berman} and \textit{W. Wang}.
