Affine quantum Schur algebras and $\imath$quantum groups with three parameters

Abstract

We study the affine quantum Schur algebras corresponding to the affine Hecke algebras of type C with three parameters. Multiplication formulas for semisimple generators are derived for these algebras. We prove that they admit a stabilization property in the sense of Beilinson-Lusztig-MacPherson, by which we construct quasi-split $\imath$quantum groups of affine type AIII with three parameters. Upon specialization of parameters, we recover some known multiplication formulas for affine quantum Schur algebras of types C and D with equal parameters. We take this opportunity to demonstrate in the appendix that different forms of multiplication formulas for affine quantum Schur algebras of types C with equal parameters across the literature are indeed equivalent.
