Abstract: Let $mathfraku$ be a compact semisimple Lie algebra, and $sigma$ be a Lie algebra involution of $mathfraku$. Let Rep${}_q(mathfraku)$ be the ribbon braided tensor C*-category of $U_q(mathfraku)$-representations for $0<q<1$. We introduce three module C*-categories over Rep${}_q(mathfraku)$ starting from the input data $(mathfraku,sigma)$. The first construction is based on the theory of cyclotomic KZ-equations. The second construction uses the notion of quantum symmetric pair as developed by G. Letzter. The third construction uses a variation of Drinfeld twisting. In all three cases the module C*-category is ribbon twist-braided in the sense of A. Brochier---this is essentially due to B. Enriquez in the first case, is proved by S. Kolb in the second case, and is closely related to work of J. Donin, P. Kulish, and A. Mudrov in the third case. We formulate a conjecture concerning equivalence of these ribbon twist-braided module C*-categories, and confirm it in the rank one case.

Review text

According to the Tannaka-Krein principle for quantum groups there is a duality between Hopf algebras and tensor categories with duals. This has been constructed by Drinfeld and verified for type \(A\) quantum groups. The current paper formulates a framework for type \(B\) quantum groups in terms of quantum symmetric pairs, the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation and the Drinfeld twisting. Explicitly they construct three tensor categories for modules of quantum groups in type \(B\) using the aforementioned structures, and show their equivalence for the rank one case. The key is to understand the twist in all three constructions and the authors conjecture that the equivalence holds in general.
