Braid group actions of quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we construct the Lusztig symmetries for quantum Borcherds-Bozec algebra $U_q(\mathscr g)$ and its weight module $M\in \mathcal O$, on which the generators with real indices of $U_q(\mathscr g)$ act nilpotently. We show that these symmetries satisfy the defining relations of the braid group, associated to the Weyl group $W$ of $U_q(\mathscr g)$, which gives a braid group action.
