Braided tensor products and polynomial invariants for the quantum queer superalgebra (2308.13132v1)
Abstract: The classical invariant theory for the queer Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{q}n$ investigates its invariants in the supersymmetric algebra $$\mathcal{U}{s,l}{r,k}:=\mathrm{Sym}\left(V{\oplus r}\oplus \Pi(V){\oplus k}\oplus V{*\oplus s}\oplus \Pi(V*){\oplus l} \right),$$ where $V=\mathbb{C}{n|n}$ is the natural supermodule, $V*$ is its dual and $\Pi$ is the parity reversing functor. This paper aims to construct a quantum analogue $\mathcal{B}{r,k}_{s,l}$ of $\mathcal{U}{s,l}{r,k}$ and to explore the quantum queer superalgebra $\mathrm{U}_q(\mathfrak{q}_n)$-invariants in $\mathcal{B}{r,k}{s,l}$. The strategy involves braided tensor products of the quantum analogues $\mathsf{A}{r,n}$, $\mathsf{A}{k,n}{\Pi}$ of the supersymmetric algebras $\mathrm{Sym}\left(V{\oplus r}\right)$, $\mathrm{Sym}\left(\Pi(V){\oplus k}\right)$, and their dual partners $\bar{\mathsf{A}}{s,n}$, and $\bar{\mathsf{A}}{l,n}{\Pi}$. These braided tensor products are defined using explicit braiding operator due to the absence of a universal R-matrix for $\mathrm{U}q(\mathfrak{q}_n)$. Furthermore, we obtain an isomorphism between the braided tensor product $\mathsf{A}{r,n}\otimes\mathsf{A}{k,n}$ and $\mathsf{A}{r+k,n}$, an isomorphism between $\mathsf{A}{k,n}{\Pi}$ and $\mathsf{A}{k,n}$, as well as the corresponding isomorphisms for their dual parts. Consequently, the $\mathrm{U}q(\mathfrak{q}_n)$-supermodule superalgebra $\mathcal{B}{r,k}{s,l}$ is identified with $\mathcal{B}{r+k,0}_{s+l,0}$. This allows us to obtain a set of generators of $\mathrm{U}q(\mathfrak{q}_n)$-invariants in $\mathcal{B}{r,k}{s,l}$.
