We prove a conjecture of Miemietz and Kashiwara on canonical bases and branching rules of affine Hecke algebras of type D. The proof is similar to the proof of the type B case in Varagnolo and Vasserot (in press) [15].

We construct the positive principal series representations for Uq(gR) where g is of type Bn, Cn, F4 or G2, parametrized by Rn where n is the rank of g. We show that under the representations, the generators of the Langlands dual group Uq(LgR) are related to the generators of Uq(gR) by the transcendental relations. This gives a new and very simple analytic relation between the Langlands dual pair. We define the modified quantum group Uqq(gR)=Uq(gR) ⊗ Uq(LgR) of the modular double and show that the representations of both parts of the modular double commute with each other, and there is an embedding into the q-tori polynomials.

In our previous work, we studied positive representations of split real quantum groups U q q~ (g R ) restricted to their Borel part and showed that they are closed under taking tensor products. But the tensor product decomposition was only constructed abstractly using the GNS representation of a C*-algebraic version of the Drinfeld–Jimbo quantum groups. Here, using the recently discovered cluster realization of quantum groups, we write the decomposition explicitly by realizing it as a sequence of cluster mutations in the corresponding quiver diagram representing the tensor product.

Based on the orthogonal Labastida-Mario-Ooguri-Vafa conjecture made by L. Chen and Q. Chen (2012), we derive an infinite product formula for Chern-Simons partition functions, which generalizes Liu and Peng's recent results to the orthogonal case. Symmetry property of this new infinite product structure is also discussed.
