The q-characters at roots of unity

We study the Frobenius-Lusztig kernel for quantum affine algebras at root of unity of small orders that are usually excluded in literature. These cases are somewhat degenerate and we find that the kernel is in fact mostly related to different affine Lie algebras, some even of larger rank, that exceptionally sit inside the quantum affine algebra. This continues the authors study for quantum groups associated to finite-dimensional Lie algebras in [Len14c].

We describe a correspondence (or duality) between the q-characters of finite-dimensional representations of a quantum affine algebra and its Langlands dual in the spirit of q-alg/9708006 and 0809.4453. We prove this duality for the Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and their irreducible tensor products. In the course of the proof we introduce and construct "interpolating (q,t)-characters" depending on two parameters which interpolate between the q-characters of a quantum affine al...

We study finite dimensional representations of the quantum affine algebra, using geometry of quiver varieties introduced by the author. As an application, we obtain character formulas expressed in terms of intersection cohomologies of quiver varieties.

We discuss a modification of Uq(sl(2,R)) and a class of its irreducible representations when q is a root of unity.

We study connections between the ring of symmetric functions and the characters of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. We study two families of representations of the symplectic and orthogonal Lie algebras. One is defined via combinatorial properties and is easy to calculate; the other is closely related to the $q=1$ limit of the ``minimal affinization'' representations of quantum affine algebras. We conjecture that the two families are ...

This paper focuses on twisted affine quantum algebras: an integer form is chosen, and the center of its specialization at odd roots of 1 (of order bigger than 3 in case D_4^{(3)}, bigger than 1 otherwise) is described.

The purpose of this paper is to compute the Drinfel'd polynomials for two types of evaluation representations of quantum affine algebras at roots of unity and construct those representations as the submodules of evaluation Schnizer modules. Moreover, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition for that the two types of evaluation representations are isomorphic to each other.

In this survey, we shall be concerned with the category of finite-dimensional representations of the untwisted quantum affine algebras when the quantum parameter q is not a root of unity. We review the foundational results of the subject, including the Drinfeld presentation, the classification of simple modules and q-characters. We then concentrate on particular families of irreducible representations whose structure has recently been understood: Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules,...

We introduce the notion of characters of comodules over coribbon Hopf algebras. The case of quantum groups of type $A_n$ is studied. We establish a characteristic equation for the quantum matrix and a q-analogue of Harish-Chandra- Itzykson-Zuber integral

The connection between q-analogs of special functions and representations of quantum algebras has been developed recently. It has led to advances in the theory of q-special functions that we here review.
