TL;DR
The paper addresses constructing and analyzing a CI-type coideal subalgebra inside the quantized enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})$ using RTT-type relations and the reflection equation. It establishes a PBW basis via the $\mathbb{A}$-form, proves an explicit isomorphism to the $\imath$quantum group $\mathcal{U}^{\imath}$ of CI type, and constructs a Poisson algebra $\mathcal{P}_n$ as the $q\to 1$ limit with an explicit braid-group action. The results unify Noumi–Letzter twisted algebras with Letzter–Kolb quantum symmetric pairs in type CI, and provide a concrete bridge between quantum and classical (Poisson) structures, including a detailed description of the braid-group symmetries on both the algebra and Poisson sides.
Abstract
The pair consisting of a quantum group and its corresponding coideal subalgebra, known as a quantum symmetric pair, was developed independently by M. Noumi and G. Letzter through different approaches. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, for symmetric pairs $(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n},\mathfrak{gl}_n)$, we construct a coideal subalgebra $U_q^{tw}(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$ of the quantized enveloping algebra of type CI using the $R$-matrix presentation, based on the work of Noumi. Second, we derive a Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt(PBW) basis for $U_q^{tw}(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$ by the $\mathbb{A}$-form approach. As a consequence of the isomorphism btween $U_q^{tw}(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$ and the $\imath$quantum group $\mathcal{U}^{\imath}$, our method also yields the PBW basis for the $\imath$quantum group of type CI. Finally, as an application of the $R$-matrix presentation, we construct a Poisson algebra $\mathcal{P}_n$ associated with $U_q^{tw}(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$, and explicitly describe the action of the braid group $\mathcal{B}_n$ on the elements of $\mathcal{P}_n$.
