Positive Casimir and Central Characters of Split Real Quantum Groups

We describe the generalized Casimir operators and their actions on the positive representations $P_λ$ of the modular double of split real quantum groups $U_{q\tilde{q}}(g_R)$. We introduce the notion of virtual highest and lowest weights, and show that the central characters admit positive values for all parameters $λ$. We show that their image defines a semi-algebraic region bounded by real points of the discriminant variety independent of $q$, and we discuss explicit examples in the lower rank cases.
