Metaplectic Whittaker functions and crystal bases (Q619690): Difference between revisions

The author studies Whittaker functions on nonlinear coverings of simple algebraic groups over a non-archimedean local field. He produces a recipe for expressing such a Whittaker function as a weighted sum over a crystal graph and shows that in type A, these expressions agree with known formulae for the prime-power-supported coefficients of multiple Dirichlet series.
