Quantum supersymmetric pairs and $\imath$Schur duality of type AIII

Abstract

We construct quantum supersymmetric pairs $({\bold U},{\bold U}^\imath)$ of type AIII and elucidate their fundamental properties. An $\imath$Schur duality between the $\imath$quantum supergroup ${\bold U}^\imath$ and the Hecke algebra of type B acting on a tensor space is established, providing a super generalization of the $\imath$Schur duality of type AIII. Additionally, we construct a (quasi) $K$-matrix for arbitrary parameters, which facilitates the realization of the Hecke algebra action on the tensor space.
