Positive Representations of Split Real Simply-laced Quantum Groups

We construct the positive principal series representations for $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R})$ where $\mathfrak{g}$ is of simply-laced type, parametrized by $\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^r$ where $r$ is the rank of $\mathfrak{g}$. We describe explicitly the actions of the generators in the positive representations as positive essentially self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space, and prove the transcendental relations between the generators of the modular double. We define the modified quantum group $\mathbf{U}_{\mathfrak{q}\tilde{\mathfrak{q}}}(\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{R})$ of the modular double and show that the representations of both parts of the modular double commute weakly with each other, there is an embedding into a quantum torus algebra, and the commutant contains its Langlands dual.
