Serre presentations and Serre-Lusztig relations for i-quantum groups

A quantum symmetric pair consists of a quantum group and its coideal subalgebra (called an i-quantum group). A quantum group can be viewed as an example of i-quantum groups associated to symmetric pairs of diagonal type. Serre presentations, Serre-Lusztig relations (also called higher order Serre relations), and braid group actions are basic tools to study quantum groups.

In a series of papers, the associate professor Xinhong Chen from Southwest Jiaotong University and her collaborators established Serre presentations and Serre-Lusztig relations for i-quantum groups, by using the i-divided powers introduced by H. Bao and W. Wang. As an application, they obtained the formula of braid goup actions for i-quantum groups.
