Geometric Schur Duality of Classical Type, II (1408.6740v1)
Published 28 Aug 2014 in math.RT and math.QA
Abstract: We establish algebraically and geometrically a duality between the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type D and two new quantum algebras arising from the geometry of N-step isotropic flag varieties of type D. This duality is a type D counterpart of the Schur-Jimbo duality of type A and the Schur-like duality of type B/C discovered by Bao-Wang. The new algebras play a role in the type D duality similar to the modified quantum gl(N) in type A, and the modified coideal subalgebras of quantum gl(N) in type B/C. We construct canonical bases for these two algebras.
