Right coideal subalgebras of \(U_q^+(\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1})\) (Q645354)

The author establishes a bijection between all sequences \((\theta_1,\dots,\theta_n)\) such that \(0\leq \theta_k\leq 2n-2k+1\), \(1\leq k\leq n\), and the set of all right coideal subalgebras in \(U_q^+(\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1})\) that contain the coradical, provided that \(q\) is not a root of unity. In the root of unity case (multiplicative order at least \(5\)) the author proves a similar result for homogeneous subalgebras of the Frobenius kernel. In particular, it follows that the number of such subalgebras equals the order of the Weyl group. A similar phenomenon is known in several other cases but lacks any conceptual explanation. The author conjectures that this is true for any finite root system.
