"We introduce an affine Schur algebra via the affine Hecke algebra associated to Weyl group of affine type C. We establish multiplication formulas on the affine Hecke algebra and affine Schur algebra. Then we construct monomial bases and canonical bases for the affine Schur algebra. The multiplication formula allows us to establish a stabilization property of the family of affine Schur algebras that leads to the modified version of an algebra Kc n. We show that Kc n is a coideal subalgebra of quantum affine algebra Uppglnq, and Uppglnq,Kc nq forms a quantum symmetric pair. The modified coideal subalgebra is shown to admit monomial and stably canonical bases. We also formulate several variants of the affine Schur algebra and the (modified) coideal subalgebra above, as well as their monomial and canonical bases. This work provides a new and algebraic approach which complements and sheds new light on our previous geometric approach on the subject. In the appendix by four of the authors, new length formulas for the Weyl groups of affine classical types are obtained in a symmetrized fashion"--

The quantum groups of finite and affine type A admit geometric realizations in terms of partial flag varieties of finite and affine type A. Recently, the quantum group associated to partial flag varieties of finite type B/C is shown to be a coideal subalgebra of the quantum group of finite type A. In this paper the authors study the structures of Schur algebras and Lusztig algebras associated to (four variants of) partial flag varieties of affine type C. The authors show that the quantum groups arising from Lusztig algebras and Schur algebras via stabilization procedures are (idempotented) coideal subalgebras of quantum groups of affine mathfrak{sl} and mathfrak{gl} types, respectively. In this way, the authors provide geometric realizations of eight quantum symmetric pairs of affine types. The authors construct monomial and canonical bases of all these quantum (Schur, Lusztig, and coideal) algebras. For the idempotented coideal algebras of affine mathfrak{sl} type, the authors establish the positivity properties of the canonical basis with respect to multiplication, comultiplication and a bilinear pairing. In particular, the authors obtain a new and geometric construction of the idempotented quantum affine mathfrak{gl} and its canonical basis.
