Minimalistic Presentation and Coideal Structure of Twisted Yangians

Abstract

We introduce a minimalistic presentation for the twisted Yangian ${}^\imath\mathscr Y$ associated with split symmetric pairs (or Satake diagrams) introduced in arXiv:2406.05067 via a Drinfeld type presentation. As applications, we establish an injective algebra homomorphism from ${}^\imath\mathscr Y$ to the Yangian $\mathscr Y$, thereby identifying ${}^\imath\mathscr Y$ as a right coideal subalgebra of $\mathscr Y$ and proving its isomorphism with the twisted Yangian in the $J$ presentation. Furthermore, we provide estimates for the Drinfeld generators of ${}^\imath\mathscr Y$ and describe their coproduct images in terms of the Drinfeld generators of $\mathscr Y$ under this identification.
