Langlands duality for representations and quantum groups at a root of unity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give a representation-theoretic interpretation of the Langlands character duality of Frenkel and Hernandez, and show that the "Langlands branching multiplicities" for symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebras are equal to certain tensor product multiplicities. For finite type quantum groups, the connection with tensor products can be explained in terms of tilting modules.


Let \(\mathfrak g\) be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra with indecomposable generalized Cartan matrix \(C\), and let \({\mathcal O}_{\text{int}}(\mathfrak g)\) be the full subcategory of integrable representations in the category of \(\mathfrak g\)-representations. Let \(^L{\mathfrak g}\) be the Langlands dual Lie algebra. The author establishes a duality between representations in \({\mathcal O}_{\text{int}}(\mathfrak g)\) and \({\mathcal O}_{\text{int}}(^L{\mathfrak g})\), provided \(C\) has no odd cycles. The multiplicites which occur in the character duality are interpreted as tensor product multiplicities. For finite type quantum groups, the connection with tensor products is explained in terms of tilting modules.
