Representations of twisted \(q\)-Yangians (Q5962312)

As defined by the authors, the twisted \(q\)-Yangians \(Y'_{q}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})\) are coideal subalgebras of the extended quantum affine algebra \(U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}_{2n}}) \). The main result of the paper is the classification of finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the twisted \(q\)-Yangians associated with the symplectic Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n} \), for \( q\neq 0 \) not a root of unity. These representations are given by highest weight modules satisfying certain conditions on the parameters that define them. The paper begins by giving new proofs of PBW theorems for some quantized enveloping algebras such as \(U_{q}(\mathfrak{gl}_{n}) \), \( U_{q}(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}_{n}}) \), twisted version of them and the twisted \(q\)-Yangians. The proofs rely on the RTT-presentation of these type of quantum groups and new orders defined on the generators. Then a classification theorem for finite-dimensional irreducible \(U_{q}(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}_{2}})\)-modules is given. It turns out that these modules can be constructed as tensor products of evaluation modules. Using this result and the evaluation map \(\pi: U_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}_{n}})\to U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{n})\), the authors proceed with the classification of the finite-dimensional irreducible \(U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}_n}) \)-modules. Finally, the authors end the paper with the study of finite-dimensional irreducible representations of \(Y_q'(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})\). First it is proved that any irreducible representation is a highest weight representation. Then, reproducing the study for irreducible modules of the quantum affine algebras, the classification theorem for \(Y_q'(\mathfrak{sp}_2)\) and \(Y_q'(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})\)-modules is given.
