$Q\widetilde{Q}$-systems for twisted quantum affine algebras

Abstract

We establish the $Q \widetilde{Q}$-systems for the twisted quantum affine algebras that were conjectured in arXiv:1606.05301. We develop the representation theory of Borel subalgebra of twisted quantum affine algebras and we construct their prefundamental representations. We also propose a general conjecture on the relations between twisted and non-twisted types. We prove this conjecture for some particular classes of representations, including prefundamental representations.
