Stability of $\imath$canonical bases of irreducible finite type of real rank one

Abstract: It has been known since their birth in Bao and Wang's work that the $\imath$canonical bases of $\imath$quantum groups are not stable in general. In the author's previous work, the stability of $\imath$canonical bases of certain quasi-split types turned out to be closely related to the theory of $\imath$crystals. In this paper, we prove the stability of $\imath$canonical bases of irreducible finite type of real rank $1$, for which the theory of $\imath$crystals has not been developed, by means of global and local crystal bases.
