The generic quantum group Drinfeld center conjecture

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let g\mathfrak g be a semisimple Lie algebra with weight and root lattices PP and QQ, respectively. For q∈Cq\in\mathbb{C}, let Uq(g)−modU_q(\mathfrak g)\mathbf{-mod} be the category of finite-dimensional type-I representations, and let Z(Uq(g)−mod)\mathcal{Z}(U_q(\mathfrak g)\mathbf{-mod}) be its Drinfeld center. The category has a canonical functor

Z:(Uq(g)−mod⊠Uq(g)−modrev⊠Rep⁡(P/Q))γ→Z(Uq(g)−mod),Z:\left(U_q(\mathfrak g)\mathbf{-mod}\boxtimes U_q(\mathfrak g)\mathbf{-mod}^{\mathrm{rev}}\boxtimes\operatorname{Rep}(P/Q)\right)^\gamma\to\mathcal{Z}(U_q(\mathfrak g)\mathbf{-mod}),

where γ\gamma is a bicharacter of (P/Q)⊕3(P/Q)^{\oplus 3}. Generic quantum group Drinfeld center conjecture. There exists such a bicharacter γ\gamma for which ZZ is an equivalence of braided tensor categories whenever q∈Cq\in\mathbb{C} is not a root of unity. The conjecture predicts an explicit description of the Drinfeld center in the generic, non-root-of-unity case; no resolution is supplied in the source.
